Recipe: New Orleans Goat Cheesecake [edit]

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until thoroughly blended, and press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan.

Step 3

In a mixer beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1 cup of the sour cream, goat cheese, eggs, and sugar, continue beating for 4 minutes. Add vanilla and lime juice and beat until incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan and bake until brown and springy-firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Remove from the pan.

Step 5

In a small bowl combine the remaining sour cream with the honey, and mix until smooth. Spread on top of the cooled cake.
