I made this for my office christmas party last week. Everyone loved it and I am now handing out the recipe to everyone. This was the first time I used a springform pan for a cheesecake. My other fave cheesecake recipes call for a 13 x 9 pan. The recipe was easy to follow and soooo yummy. I will be making this again for our christmas gathering.
