Vanilla Almond Cheesecake with Coffee Crumble

Vanilla Almond Cheesecake with Coffee Crumble

By: Hidemi - Plainfield, IN - 2016 Recipe Contest

"This cake has everything I love, coffee, vanilla, almond, almond milk and cream cheese! I made this to celebrate my personal event. Since this is for my treat, I added everything I love but since this is so delicious (if I say so myself), I shared with my husband and parents-in-law who love cheesecake and coffee as well. Anything I cook and share with my parents-in-law is very special to me because they treat me as their real daughter, not in-law. My parents are living in Japan and I see them once a year but I have great parents here in America so I never feel "alone" or "lonely" thanks to my parents-in-law!"
