NOTES
Ultimate cheesecake -- This recipe is the original creation of a co-worker, Don Chaney.
I consider myself a cheesecake gourmet, and I rate this recipe as 8. 5 out of 10 (However, there are no 10s). The recipe is so simple, I almost feel guilty serving it.
Variations
Crush some walnuts into the crust.
Pour a can of cherry or blueberry pie filling over the chilled cake, then chill again.
Put about 2 to 3 tablespoon of your favorite liqueur into the cake filling.
