Fabulous Cheesecake Pleases Many
This dense rich cake is so flavorful I could write a sonnet in its honor, but suffice it to say it was greatly appreciated. I had to bring a "super-dessert" to a gathering, found this, and it's a keeper. Don't wait for the holidays, try it today. I served it well-chilled, and everyone raved! Thanks a million, Chef.

Loved it
This should be in the easy category because it was easy to make as long as you gather all of your ingredients and utensils first off. Very delicious.
