	P.S. It's also too hot for anyone else in my family, so it's ALL MINE! :)

	One other thing: Don't try to "low-fat" cheesecake. It will FAIL MISERABLY.
Cut back in other areas of your diet, then splurge on the real deal now and
then!  You won't regret it!

	Hey all, I made the Habaņero-Lime Cheesecake yesterday and man is it good.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

	I used my own graham crust recipe that is sweetened (1 1/4 C Crumbs, 1 C
minus 1 T Sugar, 5 T Butter). I used 3 large Habaņeros, (next time I'll use
2 large or 3 small, it was a little hot but still VERY good)  the juice of 1
1/2 limes (next time I'll use 2, it needs a little more lime flavor) and
omit the cream (I like a more cake like texture).

	Over all I gave it a 4 out of 5 rating that I think can be raised to 5 with
the adjustments mentioned.  It has a wonderfully smooth texture that
contrasts very well with the lime that it carries, then the heat slowly
builds until you take your next bite and start the beautiful process all
over again!

Thanks so much,
John
