This was the best cheesecake I ever made! Even better than the award-winning cheesecake at our local diner!! I made a few changes to the recipe . . . I made it low fat using the regular low fat cream cheese (not whipped) and low fat sour cream. It was the creamiest cheesecake my family said they ever ate. Very easy . . . . it's a 10 star!!!

I have been making this cheese cake ever since it's recipe was originally published. It's easy to make but the directions and techniques should be followed exactly. It's a great recipe and makes the most delicious cake.
