This is my favorite of all the cheesecakes I have ever made. It is delightfully light and so very easy to make. Easily "dressed up" with a fruit topping or sauce.

Love the ingredients in this, sounds great!


Does this make its own crust?


Hi guys,
This just could be the easiest cheesecake I've ever made. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do. Yes, realmarino, this is a crust-free cake. I don't know if it would work as well with a crust.

Wow, don't know how I missed so many of your good recipes, I love this one too. Another 5 heading your way.


Oh my, henrie! This one's too easy to be believed. And if you WANT to dress it up, a puree of any fresh fruit can be folded into the batter marble-cake-style OR dress the top of the cake. Enjoy and thanks for your five.
