Mascarpone Cheesecake with Balsamic Strawberries image

This is the best cheesecake I have ever made or eaten! I think the mascarpone is key and the balsamic strawberries is a must. It elevates this cheesecake to a different level. Recipe is from Wente Vineyards Restaurant in Livermore, California.

This cheesecake was too dense and heavy for me. The mascarpone cheese was a bit overpowering, and I think it could have benefited from a lighter touch.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The mascarpone cheese was very creamy and the strawberries were a nice touch. I might try making it again with less sugar next time.
