My family loves cheesecake, therefore, it is probably the most frequently baked dessert in my kitchen. I bake several each month and most recently baked a cheesecake instead of a birthday cake for my mother's birthday.
This easy cheesecake is most often what I make for dessert when we are entertaining. I can either make it the day before, or the morning of an event. It seems everyone loves cheesecake!
The only drawback is that it does take about 2 hours to make, bake & cool. Plus, it needs to set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
While it is very easy, it does take time. However, it is worth the wait!
