We absolutely love the cookie crust in this recipe – you could eat it all by itself! This is one of those recipes that can be changed according to the flavors you like best. Substitute the blueberry spread for raspberry or strawberry. On vacations or even in your home town, keep your eyes out for unique spreads, jams, chutneys, etc., they are great to have on hand!

This recipe originated from my sister, Kathleen. Because of the size of our family, holidays always were, and still are, a group effort filled with “assignments.” One year Kathy was assigned appetizers and she said she would bring something she had recently at a party called Mexican Cheesecake. I thought it sounded like a spicy dessert, not an appetizer. Thanksgiving day arrived that year and in walked my sister with her cheesecake. It was so pretty, everyone was afraid to ruin it by taking a slice. My brother, Francis, finally took the first bite and got the OMG look on his face – he loved it. We all dug in and it quickly became a family favorite. I often serve this at my house or bring it to parties – everyone, every time gets the OMG expression and can’t get enough. I personally guarantee this appetizer will be a crowd-pleaser at your next simple celebration – give it a try!
