Made this for the Ontario Zaarfest held this weekend. I topped it with peaches that I cooked down with equal parts of icewine & water and added a dash of cinnamon & nutmeg. It was a nice light cheesecake that had the perfect amount of sweetness. It received many, many compliments and even a couple second helpings!.

Wonderful recipe and instructions. It turned out so light, tasty and beautiful. It wasn't dry on the edges like some cheesecakes I've made and no crack! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
