This is my favorite cheesecake recipe. My grandmother has been making this for years and I have very fond memories when I taste it. I was craving it and I couldn't find my recipe. I was so upset. I logged on to Zaar and here it was. I was relieved! This is a wonderful, light, and easy cheesecake. Very non-traditional but so yummy. The lemon flavor is just right and compliments a dollup of cherry pie filling on top. Thank you so much for saving the day!!!
