I have been making this cheesecake for years and it is always a HUGE hit at parties and get togethers, or when the week sucked and you just need cheesecake. A friend of mine gave me the basic recipe and I tweaked a a couple things to get this cheesecake which is really so easy to make that it’s impossible to mess up 🙂 and it doesn’t hurt that it’s crazy delicious too!
