Sopapilla Cheesecake Recipe
Years ago, I attended a women’s bible study (or book club) at a church we were attending in St. Louis. Someone brought dessert and it was amazing… as a result, the whole group asked for the recipe. Within a week or so, this Sopapilla Cheesecake recipe hit my Inbox!
A spinoff of the traditional Spanish Sopapilla, this dessert is going to be a new favorite. If you like cheesecake, you’re certainly not going to pass this dessert up.
I did what most women do, printed the recipe off, and added it to my recipe binder. But I forgot about it.
Would you believe that I never made it? A dessert that melted in my mouth. That is to say that I remembered wanting all-things cheesecake.

To clarify, I had tucked the Sopapilla Cheesecake away and forgot completely about it. I still can’t believe I did that (insert facepalm). So it wasn’t rediscovered until after we moved.
A few weeks ago, we had a family dinner at our house. I wanted to make a dessert I hadn’t made for them before. Ya know, something new.
Well, this Sopapilla Cheesecake recipe jumped off the pages and, friends, it did not disappoint. In other words…
We have a winner!
The whole family flipped out. And my brother was sure to mention that I could make this anytime we got together. Giggle. Consequently, this Sopapilla Cheesecake recipe was reborn and I scored with a yummy dessert.

That’s one of my favorite dessert recipes and I haven’t made it in so long…thanks for the reminder and I think it might make it’s way onto the menu for next week…

This has a lot of sugar in it: 2 tbsp plus the 1 cup of sugar and the hone and the refined flour from the rolls.
Is all this sweetener necessary? I’d like to make it for my family but need to reduce the refined sugars. How much of the sugar and honey can be reduced?
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Collee. I’m sure you can cut back on the sugar sprinkled on the top, but it will effect the taste. Feel free to revise at your discretion. 😉
Debra Bull says
I don’t know why you couldn’t half the amount of sugar to A half cup and substitute Stevtia to taste and then sprinkle a little sugar on top with cinnamon.

Holly Abner says
This is one of THE best treats I have ever made. It was so simple and it is DELICIOUS! Thank you for sharing this recipe, I intend to make this a lot!
jane says
I made this a day ahead. Would you recommend re-heating before serving, serving room temp or cold?
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Jane. I’ve eaten both ways — cold and warmed. I prefer it a little warm, and I’ve added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on occasion too. Why not splurge, right? ENJOY!!
