This recipe is so good! I don't have a springform pan, so I adapted it into a pie. The recipe was ridiculously easy (which was good because I've never made cheesecake before). I used low fat cream cheese and condensed milk, topped it with canned cherries, and it was fabulous! I'm already planning the next time I'm going to make it. Thanks! -
This is the best cheesecake ever- shortcut with the sweetened condensed milk is fabulous. Great texture.

This was a simple, easy cheesecake. I can see how it would be very simple to dress up. I used almond extract.

I am retired so have more time to do the things I love - Cooking, needlework and traveling. Since we travel extensively throughout the year both inside and outside the US, traveling affords me the opportunity to try many different foods. I'm always interested in something new and unusual. Finding Recipezaare was a God-send since my shelves are getting full of cookbooks and it is hard to remember those "good" recipes but easy to find them with Recipezaare. Also with Recipezaare I have my favorite recipes with me wherever we go (via my laptop). In most of the places we visit we have condos with full kitchens and I can just pull up Recipezaare and prepare dinner when we don't want to eat out. I have recommended Recipezaare to many of my friends.
