Pomegranate Cheesecake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
The meeting of cheesecake and pomegranate is no accident: the silky richness of cream cheese begs for the tart, crunchy freshness of pomegranate. While cheesecake is a NY icon, the use of pomegranate lends Persian elegance. It's festive both in taste and looks, with a ruby-red jelly layer glistening atop white cream.
