Simple, decadent and breeze to make. To me, this was a dense cheesecake. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet. I topped with a can light cherry pie filling. I think the only thing I'll do different next time, is add a layer of sweetened sour cream. I love the tang it adds to cheesecake. Thanks so much for sharing this flexible keeper of a recipe.Reply
