Sounds great silverqueen! What a good one to come up with off the top of your head. My 5 to you! Thanks for the post.


This sounds wonderful!


It does sound great - I love the idea of using gingersnaps in the crust - but do "healthy" and "cheesecake" really belong in the same sentence? Or a sentence that doesn't also include "incredibly un-"? (lol) No, I'm sure this is wonderful, so nice and light. Bookmarking to make when the warm weather finally gets here!


This looks awesome
