I was searching zaar to post this same recipe when I saw you already had. This is truely an easy and rich cheesecake. I have been making it since 1997 and it always goes over with rave reviews. I love to serve it with raspberry sauce and whipped cream. Thanks for sharing with all of us! -
I had to use an 8x8 dish, and it turned out much too thick. I can't imagine a 9x9 would have been much better. The flavors were excellent, though. Next time, I'll probably use a 9x13.
