This cheese cake is a direct result from the nectarine tart that I fell in love with over at Smitten Kitchen. I also have to thank Dona Ana and her son Miguel from the Santa Cruz flee market for having the best fruit and vegetable stand in the , ok fine, my world. Today they were selling their juicy peaches for .50cents a pound. As soon as I got home I busted out my tub of cream cheese and got right to work.

Love this. Yum yum. I had the same idea, actually, so you stole it. Stoler. Israel made a gingersnap crust for a cheesecake and it was lovely.
ReplyDeleteOooh- yum. I hope the farm we're going to tomorrow to pick some veggies has peaches too.
