I have made several Cheesecakes over the years, but this one won out over all! It has been called an Aphrodisiac and started many a Love Affair! Creamy and delightful on its own or served topped with fresh fruit or your topping of your choice. Read more I have changed it a bit. Also, used limes instead. I must admit. I am not much of a sweet tooth but when I make a dessert. Watch out!! It is addictive! The original is from Susan Mendelson. See insert I made a parfait with it last night! Can also be a sweet appetizer too! See less
