Easy Cheesecake

Submitted by Nancy G.

"This recipe is different from most cheesecake recipes and it's my son's favorite. The cheesecake puffs up some and then settles back down after cooling. There is no crust and I usually top with a can of cherry pie filling but you can use any type of topping you want. The recipe is from a cookbook put together by an organization I was in a few years ago called To The Rescue."
