The Most Heavenly Cheesecakes Known To Humankind
Monastic orders have been producing food and spirits to sell for thousands of years, so it made sense for the Nuns of New Skete to look to food when trying to support themselves. While the idea may not have been unique, anyone who has ever taken a bite of one of their cheesecakes will quickly tell you the end result is far from ordinary. This small monastery in upstate New York is producing what many believe to be the finest cheesecakes in the country all made by hand and made by the sisters. In between daily prayers, the nuns make a limited number of cheesecakes each day, just as they've done for nearly four decades.
