  Re: (...)
We made this version three years ago for Christmas parties. From Sondra Wilson, Kennewick, Washington. It won 1st prize at a March of Dimes Gourmet Gala and was publoshed by Gourmet Magazine in April/98.

Pre heat oven to 325

Crust--
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 C blue cornmeal, if available
1/4 C boiling water
Melt butter and in a bowl stir together with corn meal and water. Press mixture on the bottom of a 10" or 9" spring form pan.

Filling--
8 fresh poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
1 & 1/2 C sour cream
2 large eggs
1 lb cream cheese softened
2 T unsalted butter
1 C grated Monterey Jack Cheese
1 & 1/2 C grated sharp Cheddar
1 T minced fresh dill leaves
1/4 C chopped fresh cilantro
In a food processor blend sour cream and eggs. Add cream cheese and butter and blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in chiles, cheeses, dill, cilantro, and salt.
Pour filling over crust. Bake in the middle of the 325 oven until center is just set. Cool completely in the pan on a rack.

Papaya Salsa
1/2 papaya, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove minced
1/2 C finely chopped red onion
1/2 red bell pepper
1 T chopped fresh cilantro
2 T rice vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
Mix all well and serve with cheesecake.

I don't know why I haven't make this yet. Maybe this winter?

I didn't get it made even though I had good intentions. Really want to make it for Christmas Eve when we have the whole family together.

I need to bring an appetizer tomorrow at friends house and have been wanting to make this for a while. Wondering if I divided it into smaller pans - 4" springforms, would it freeze well for use at Christmas/NYE?

Most cheesecakes do freeze nicely - this one should, also, I would think.

We have made one large cake, cut in half, and frozen both seperatly a couple of weeks ago. We will thaw one for each party, one week apart. The salsa must be made just prior to each party. We've done this several times.
