Ingredients
Directions

1. In a mixer, blend cream cheese, heavy cream, and brown sugar until
smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. In a pan over medium heat, melt 1 tsp of butter (optional) and lightly
sear the La Costeña sweet tamales until golden.

3. Meanwhile, in another pan over low heat, combine sugar, strawberries,
and water. Let it reduce into a compote. Set aside.

4. Flip the tamales to sear the other side evenly.

5. Spread the strawberry compote on a deep plate, place the tamale on top, and pipe the chilled cheesecake cream over it.

6. Garnish with fresh raspberries, mint leaves, and a touch of lemon zest
