Karla's Strawberry
PIZZA (torte)!
Karla passed on a recipe
idea that at first sounded... well.. unpleasant.
However, not to be deterred , we tweaked it a bit and
came up with
something much better! We made the strawberries more the
style of
"Strawberry Romanoff", added the right spices to the crust... and changed
the cheesecake filling... all -- I believe-- for the
better. Oh yes, the glaze
called for in the original recipe was -- as my daughters
would say -- 'hobo'...
so we made our own with lovely Casis!
as my daughters
would say, "It is divine!"
