This is a wonderful Cheesecake! It made for a lovely dessert, with raves all around, definitely in my favorites cookbook. We are expecting a busy summer and this cheesecake is going to make for a great addition to the dessert table. I didn't have the zwiback crackers so went with Andypany's Sweet Shortcrust Pastry recipe#90981 which made for an excellent base. Thank you Andy for another of your terrific desserts. Oct 7 - corrected to make the Shortcrust 'clickable' - so a repeatable, guests enjoy - a wonderful dessert for those special occasions.
