Great cheesecake!! I made 1/2 of the recipe and realized I didn't put in all the sugar that I should have in the scaled back version, so it wasn't very sweet, but that was my fault, but it still was very good. The one thing I added was some mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to the cheesecake filling, yummy!! Then when serving, I added a sliced fresh strawberry! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for your win in the football pool, congrats again!!

At first I was a little skeptical... I don't generally like nuts in cheesecake. But it turned out delicious! It was so fabulous I'll have to make it for my boyfriend sometime (he is the ultimate cheesecake critic). Thanks for sharing!
