Steps:

• Finely chop pineapple in a food processor. You should come away with about 4 cups. Place in a saucepan, mix with tequila and set aside for 30 minutes.

• Add 1/4 cup agave syrup to pineapple in saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer at a fast clip about 30 minutes, until fruit turns jamlike and most of the liquid is gone. Set aside.
• Beat or process goat cheese and remaining 1 cup agave syrup until well blended. Add lime juice and egg yolks and beat or process until mixed. Whip egg whites until softly peaked, dust with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and beat until firm. Fold into goat cheese mixture.
• Spread pineapple over almond crust. Top with goat cheese mixture. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until lightly browned and threatening to crack a bit around the edges. Allow to cool to room temperature before removing sides of pan and serving.

GOAT CHEESE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust:
• Stir all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom and about halfway up the sides of the pan.
• To make the filling:
• Beat the cream and goat cheeses in the bowl of an electric stand mixer with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the creme fraiche and beat to combine. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each egg is added, until thoroughly combined. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until just combined.
• Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Put on a baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the cooking process. If the cheesecake starts to color, tent the springform pan with aluminum foil.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely before serving, as it continues to set as it cools. It is best to refrigerate overnight before serving. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with Vanilla Pineapple Compote.
