This gluten-free, soy-free, New York cheesecake is made with goat cheese instead of cream cheese. At a recent party, my husband mentioned he had not had cheesecake for 20 years because of his allergies, so I developed this recipe. It's so decadent and creamy — I've served it several times and nobody has noticed the substitution!

Sweetbread meat is from the gland of cattle, and this is how my husband and I prepare them. We like to cook them in tiny pieces. The taste reminds me of chicken hearts — only better. One pound of sweetbreads makes plenty for 2 using this recipe.
