Natasha’s Dream Cheesecake

It was the icing on the cake when pastry chef extraordinaire and three-time James Beard finalist Natasha Pickowicz teamed up with us to create her dream cheesecake, in celebration of her new cookbook, More Than Cake! This layer cake/cheesecake combo uses her famous olive oil cake as a base for Eli's legendary Vanilla Bean Cheesecake, a wave of passion fruit curd, toasted coconut, and a fluffy layer of mascarpone mousse.
