A Silverware Affair (Chattanooga, Tennessee)
Yields 2 (9-inch) cheesecakes
A Silverware Affair is a catering company with several locations, but their headquarters is in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Moon Pies are popular. They suggested pairing this with a Coca-Cola, which was first bottled in their city, too. Both are Southern favorites. The recipe also works well with other add-ins, such as Oreos®, Twix® pieces, and various candies.

1 quart heavy cream
1¾ cups sugar
1 package (1 tablespoon) gelatin
1½ teaspoons pure vanilla
4 pounds cream cheese, softened
5 Moon Pies®, diced into ⅛-inch chunks
