Anne Rose's Cheesecake ( Pie )
"From "The 50 Best Cheesecakes in the World" cookbook. I have been searching for a good cheesecake that does not require a springform pan and isn't a total calorie overload. When cut into 12 wedges, a single serving is 291 calories so this sounds perfect! Please allow 5 to 8 hours for cooling and refrigeration. Times are a guess-timate until I make this."
