The first time I made this pie my husband loved it so much I made it every day for a week, that was back in the 60's; and it has been a favorite dessert ever since.

 Kim Marzke (Pennsylvania) says:
I wanted to make cheesecake. I got out my better homes and gardens cookbook I was given by an Aunt for my wedding present in '87.

 Chris (Texas) says:
This is my favorite cheesecake recipe bar none. Ate it all the time growing up and thought it was a family secret recipe.

If you ever make this for a potluck, though, you will get asked to make it for every potluck for the rest of your life.
