There are countless ideas for cheesecake, but this one with plums stole my heart. It's a simple yet unusual combination, as plums often end up in yeast or shortcrust pastries than as an addition to cheese filling. However, it's worth trying this combination because plums and cheesecake complement each other perfectly.
