Katherine Larson, of Viroqua, Wisconsin, is the grand prize winner of Holstein Association USA Inc.'s 2015 Junior Recipe Contest. She won for her Creamy Dairy Caramel Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, and will receive a Kindle Fire.

Her cheesecake recipe is used often for local fundraising events, Katherine says. "The best part is it raises money for Jr. Holstein and FFA members while tasting dreamingly, dairyingly delicious using five different dairy products!" Katherine also took first prize in the senior division.

Awards were given to the top individuals in each division.
