Sopapilla Cheese Cake Recipe Page

Someone brought this to Shirley's Annual Girlfriend's Christmas party.  When I asked if they'd share the recipe I was told "The recipe is all over Pinterest, just search for Sopapilla Cheese Cake" and that's where I got it.  

 They taste much like a cheese danish to me.  It takes very little time or effort to make these, they travel well and everyone liked them on Christmas Eve.

The only thing cut with the Cameo on this page is the recipe card.  Following some instructions from Shirley, I opened the file on From My Kitchen in Design Studio and transferred it into Make The Cut and cut it using that software.

The red embellishments were all done with punches.  The journal card is from a page of them by Kaisercraft that I found at Scraptopia in Ada.

This is a Pinterest photo of them baked.  Some recipes call for a glaze on the top after you bake the dough.  I did mine with just the butter and sugar the recipe calls for.  They're not terribly sweet this way.

Funeral Sandwiches and Sopapilla Cheese Cake

 ***edited 12-25-2012 to add:  The sandwiches taste really good!  Everyone liked the cheesecake squares and agreed that I could reduce the sugar in the filling and they'd be even better!***

I have never eaten the Funeral Sandwiches, just saw the recipe online and they sound interesting. The name comes from the fact that people make these and take them to dinners after a funeral. Joy Warburton Tracy made them for a luncheon and says they're really very good, so I'm taking her recommendation and doing these for Christmas Eve dinner.

 The Sopapilla Cheesecake was one of the dishes brought to Shirley's Christmas party.  I thought it was a really good dessert since it's not overly sweet and it has cream cheese in it!
