Gorgonzola Cheesecake
Gorgonzola Cheese Cake

When I started to make this cheese cake
I figured it was going to be either one
of the best cheesecakes ever or I'd end
up throwing it all out to the chickens.
This was a little more work than I wanted
to go through testing a recipe but worth it.
This came out awesome! Well worth the work!
The secret was to keep the gogonzola cheese
separate from the rest of the cheese batter.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 packages Cream Cheese, softened
8 ounces gorgonzola cheese, whole
6 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Mix graham cracker crumbs and butter;
press firmly onto bottom of springform pan.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla
in large bowl until well blended.
Add sour cream and mix well.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed
after each addition just until blended.
In the middle of a spring form pan, place
the piece of gorgonzola cheese.
Pour cream cheese filling over cracker crust,
and around gorgonzola cheese in center of cake.
Bake 70 minutes, or until cheesecake is almost set.
Run a butter knife around rim of pan to loosen cake;
Serve warm with fresh berry syrup toppings or
cool before removing rim of pan.
Refrigerate overnight to let the cake tigten up.
Serve with a fresh strawberry syrup and a hot coffee.
