Best Lemon Cheesecake Ever Sour Cream Cheesecake Recipe Recipe
I really love cheesecake and this one is very good. For something different, you could leave off the sour cream topping and put Lemon Curd ontop. YUM.

This sounds so good, Henrie. I'd use the lemon curd, too. In fact, I'd use both the sour cream topping and the lemon curd! YUM! Ok, now I want cheesecake. Thank you for the recipe! Its a good one!
