Goat Cheese-Lemon Cheesecake

Goat cheese and lemon partner to create a new take on classic cheesecake. The goat cheese adds a tangy, salty touch and a wonderfully complex flavor, while a tart lemon curd topping adds a freshness that offsets the richness of the cheesecake. A crumb crust made with almond biscotti brings a subtle nuttiness and crisp texture to the dessert.
