Cheesecake

A cheesecake brings certain memories to mind whenever I hear or read the word.

Thick, ricotta and egg laden richness all whipped and enveloped by a pastry-like crust baked to form a slice of absolute decadence is one type. Think New York style.

Light cream cheese, sugar and eggs baked in a warm oven and held in a crumb bottom crust of a variety of flavours. Think Philly Cream Cheese classic.

There are a few thousand variations of the above as well; some with sour cream added, melted chocolate mixed in or various boozy and non-alcoholic flavourings incorporated.

Whatever way you make it, cheesecake is an absolute treat to the senses.

I’ll post my favourite recipe that comes from a magazine way back when I first went out on my own. I remember leafing through a magazine at the dentist’s office (NOT my fav place) and then ripping it out and slipping it in my purse hoping no one saw me do it…..

Whenever anyone asks for a cheesecake it’s the one I use. Quick, easy and a showstopper!

Enjoy!
