I was first introduced to this recipe about ten years ago. I was intimidated by the complexity, but my friend that gave me this recipe assured me I could pull this off. I figured I didn’t have anything to lose, and it had to taste good. If all else failed I would still have the Bailey’s. So I gave it a try and it was heaven! My very first cheesecake! Little did I know what it would lead to.

Thank you Tanya! This cheesecake is so good on so many levels, you will love it. Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment!
wow marilyn this looks delicious! cheesecake is one of my favourite desserts!!
This one is a bit heavier, like New York style, Charlotte. Most of my cheesecakes lean to a creamier texture. You won ‘t need to make two with this one!
I think I have died and gone to heaven! One of my favorite pastimes is making cheesecake. I love the delicate time it takes and I always, always use a water bath. I love experimenting with different ones and adding some ingredients from one to another. Of course eating them is another story so I try and make them to share with friends or at work meetings. This is the one I can’t stop thinking about ever since you mentioned it. It is on my Easter menu. Thank you, thank you for linking it today. Pinning for sure!!
Michelle, sweet friend, this comment made my day! Enjoy this cheesecake. This one is my signature cheesecake.
Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I typically never try cheesecakes!
