 Fabulous Cheese Cake
My family prefers it with pineapple, as the instructions show. You can use your favorite fruit topping, all berries work well, fresh blueberries are fabulous Strawberries are always great, specially when in season, and fully ripe.
This recipe creates a creamy almost custardy cheesecake, not stiff or dry, If you prefer the New York Style cheesecakes, this recipe is not for you. This consistency is completly different from the New York style. Very creamy with loads of flavor, Bakes in about 40 minutes.
