Lite, rich, fluffy, and flavorful, this cheesecake is sure to impress! The goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and cream cheese combine for a cake that's both indulgent and well-balanced. The apricot compote is optional, but adds a burst of tart-sweet and warming flavor. Feel free to swap in other seasonal fruits you find at the market, or a combination. You can also leave the cake plain or finish with a drizzle of honey. Just don't skip the foil! It protects the cheesecake from the water as it bakes.
