European Fig Cheesecake

I opened a Café / Bakery in 2004 in a small quaint town in the Austrian Alps and I really fell in love with this recipe because it is not at all like a traditional cheesecake, but rather a much lighter and not so sweet afternoon treat.  I especially liked that you could make it a seasonal recipe just by changing the fruit.  My all-time favorite is with Fresh Figs,so I thought I would share this recipe that I used at my Bakery in Austria.  It is a little complicated, but totally worth it.
