Recipe: Mixed berry cheesecake
Cheescake with rhubarb – Tierra Patagonia
At Tierra Patagonia, we serve a delicate cheesecake made with rhubarb – a vegetable that grows in abundance in the south of Chile and which can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from salads to desserts.
With many of us hunkered down in our homes, we’ve decided to share our cheesecake recipe, but adapting it to utilize the ingredients we have on hand. In this case, we suggest mixed berries, which can even be found frozen in nearly any grocery store.
We hope that, through cooking, we can transport you to one of the places that enchant us and where we hope to soon return.
