TWiB #37 – Pear Cheesecake

I’ve moving more and more towards inventing my recipes instead of following them word-for-word from a book.  Here’s a flavor combination that I came up with myself.  The pears are a subtle flavor addition to this creamy cheesecake.

Pear Cheesecake

Recipe
Brown Sugar-Apple Cheesecake from Dorie Greenspan’s Baking: From My Home to Yours, pg. 238

Modifications
Changed all the brown sugar to white sugar.  Used 2 pears instead of apples.  Used ground vanilla wafer cookies instead of graham cracker crumbs.  Omitted cinnamon and apple cider.

Rating
Still not the best cheesecake ever.  3.5 stars out of 5.
