I got this recipe from my husbands co worker years ago. It's one of my favorites. It takes awhile before you can actually eat it, but it's well worth the wait!

Hey Michelle!
Hope you are well. I was looking for a dessert to take to a teacher luncheon (something our PTO does for our teachers) with a German theme. This is great! I'll let you know how it turns out. I haven't been spinning in a couple of weeks. The gym was closed for over a week after Ike, and there is still a lot to be cleaned up around here. I got my garden planted yesterday and we finally had the tree that fell on our fence and all the other mess picked up this weekend. We were w/out power for 11 days. It was warm and a bit stressful. I am looking forward to getting back to normal and getting back to spinning.
Thanks for the recipe!

Michelle, you're bag isn't empty yet, is it? I hope not, because I just keep enjoying all of these wonderful posts you keep sharing with us. The topping on this cheesecake really puts it WAY at the top of the "delicious" index...I have to try this one for company - would be very impressive, I'm sure.
