Amarula Cheesecake Recipe
This Amarula cheesecake recipe has been in our family for many years. My mother used to prepare this recipe whenever we received International guests. Everyone I know loves this delicious cheesecake dish. It is quick and easy to prepare, tastes good, and looks amazing. A feast for all the culinary senses.
Amarula cheesecake is prepared from classic cheesecake ingredients, with the prime ingredient being Amarula liqueur. Amarula is a cream liqueur from South Africa. It is made with sugar, cream and the fruit of the African marula tree which is also locally called the Elephant tree or the Marriage Tree. Wild animals like warthogs, monkeys, elephants and giraffes go crazy over the marula fruit. The animals even have Marula parties, or so we call it locally. It is spectacular and quite funny.

I love South Africa and the food. This is a great recipe. We have a bottle of Amarula liqueur stored away and I will certainly make this Amarula cheesecake to spoil my husband and remind us of our good friends in South Africa. 5.00Respond to Comments
