SALSA CHEESECAKE image

I have served this to multiple groups at parties, holiday time and always get asked for the recipe! Festive appetizer to serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or to eat with a fork. Add a side of medium or hot salsa to spice it up for those who like spicy. This is mild if you use mild salsa.

This salsa cheesecake is a must-try! It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I highly recommend it.

This cheesecake was okay. It wasn't the best cheesecake I've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This cheesecake was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the cheesecake was bland. I won't be making this again.

The cheesecake was good, but the salsa topping was a bit too spicy for me. Next time I'll use a milder salsa.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a less sweet salsa.

This is one of my favorite cheesecakes! The salsa topping is the perfect complement to the creamy cheesecake. I always get compliments when I make this for parties.

This cheesecake was amazing! The crust was perfectly graham crackery, the cheesecake was smooth and creamy, and the salsa topping was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This salsa cheesecake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought salsa, but I think it would be even better with homemade salsa. I will definitely be making this again.

I was skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm glad I tried it. The salsa cheesecake was surprisingly delicious! The cheesecake was light and fluffy, and the salsa topping added just the right amount of sweetness and spice.

This salsa cheesecake was a hit at my party! It was so unique and delicious. The cheesecake was creamy and flavorful, and the salsa topping was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.
