Creamy Cheesecake

"This is my favorite cheesecake! Plain creamy, creamy, creamy, Oh! Did I say creamy! Found in it Desserts Cooking class cookbook. Tweaked a tiny bit! Best to be made a day ahead of serving. Top it after cooled with 1 cup of Lemon Curd recipe #61278, using Recipe #54869 for the crust."

  1. Very rich and very creamy. My friends were not able to have more than one piece even though it was delish. This is a hearty dessert. Not for the weight watchers!
