I had to compromise with my hubby on this review. He wasn't thrilled with the different taste to the cheesecake. I think it was the use of brown sugar with the cream cheese. He said it tasted more like caramel on top. I loved it. Now I just have to find someone to give the rest too, because it's too much for me to eat! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2008.
