Not only is it from small family farms with pastured cows, the cheese has the best flavor and texture of any cream cheese I have used for cheesecakes.

However, I'm not picky; anything that you make would be fine with me. It looks utterly decadent and delicious! I want to be a member of your family and get cheesecake on my birthday.

I get it at Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati; I am not sure how hard it is to find outside of major urban markets, since none of the other grocery stores near me carry it (I live a solid hour outside of Cinci). Organic Valley and Stoneyfield (if they make cream cheese) both get high ratings from the Cornucopia Institute, which has rated organic dairy producers for things like space for the cows to move in, etc. Since I happen to know Barbara is having trouble posting, since she was kind enough to email me and tell me that yes this would make a fantastic plain vanilla bean cheesecake, Johanna, I thought I would pop in and say that I know Organic Valley makes cream cheese.

Blasphemy I know, but I have never much liked fruit and cheesecake, BUT I have been on the lookout for a light, fluffy vanilla bean cheesecake for some time now. This sounds like it might fit the bill--but I am not a cheesecake expert so I defer to your expertise. P.S. Wow I have been reading your blog a while now--I do indeed remember previous Dan cheesecakes! :) At the risk of messing too much with your recipe :) how do you think this recipe would be if you left it as is before adding the fruit?
