I found this recipe on the Eagle Brand website. Since I love any kind of cheesecake I just had to try it. This is a wonderful dessert! I did not have any Pecans on hand so I just used Walnuts. It didn't seem to hurt any :) I also left the craisins out of the streusel topping. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for taking your time and sharing this recipe.
