The holidays are HERE! I am so excited to spend time with family and friends. Everyone around me knows that I am the gal to bring the dessert and I wanted to show you all today one of my favorite recipes ever! I really hope you try this one because it will not disappoint.

What type of desserts do you like to eat during the holidays? I am all about the ones that are tart and sweet just like this cheesecake.

If you did not know my FAVORITE soda ever is Squirt® – it always has been and always will be. I love the crisp sweet/tart flavor in this grapefruit soda. I thought would translate well to the creaminess of a cheesecake and BOY was I right!

This is everything you will need for this recipe

What I love most about this recipe is that the flavors are simple but has great depth.

First preheat oven to 325 degrees F and get baking. You are going to place the cream cheese into a large mixing bowl and beat the sugar and cream cheese together. Add in the vanilla and 6 oz of Squirt®. The Squirt® is going to add a delicious tartness and lighten the cheesecake.
