I first made this cheesecake for dinner guests about two years agoI haven't stopped getting requests for it sinceThough it's made with extremely rich ingredients, the cake turns out wonderfully lightI never liked cheesecake much before I tried this recipe - but boy, have I been reformed! It's quite easy to make too!
