Maple Vanilla Cheesecake is an updated version of the classic dessert favorite. The creamy cheesecake is perfectly complemented with a touch of maple syrup!
When we flew over to England in July my youngest son fell in love with the cheesecake they served on the airplane. Apparently I had neglected to make him any for all of his 8 years-a great parental failure on my part. So last week when my boys asked me what recipes I was making coming up on the blog, and I mentioned this Maple Vanilla Cheesecake there was considerable celebration (including from my 5 year old who had no idea what cheesecake was at all but felt it sufficient enough that his older brothers were excited!)
This is just a slight variation on traditional cheesecake but the extra flavors make a world of difference! The crust has some added pecan for a nutty flavor and the filling gets a generous helping of vanilla extract and maple syrup to sweeten it up! If you love cheesecake you’re going to adore this recipe!
