This recipe is from Live Love Pasta and it combines two things I like quite a bit – cheesecake and sopapillas!  I made this as a late night snack one night and we all enjoyed it.  Art and I enjoyed the leftovers nuked about 15 seconds in the microwave, but Lance preferred the leftovers chilled.  I’m not sure that I’ll make these again, but they were certainly tasty this time.
