OH MY GOODNESS, DELICIOUS! I would give this 10 stars if I could. This is the easiest cheesecake I have ever made and so delicious. Very light and fluffy for a cheesecake and the berries complimented it perfectly. Thank you for this recipe which was a perfect end to a St. Patty's Day for my husband and I. -
totally to die for! i sure impressed my friends with this one, my neighbors husband just kept coming back for 1 little sliver :). very creamy with a slight irish cream flavor, this baked up great.i let it cool for a bit in the oven to avoid cracking. i didn't serve this with berries because they are not in season, but it was delicious as is.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
