So easy :) I love, love, love this recipe. It turned out beautiful. I made this cake with love for my family on Valentines Day. Thank you for sharing it :)
Am I reading this correctly? Do you cook for 55 minutes and then another hour? When it has prep time listed; it says to only bake for 55 minutes
The was REALLY GOOD. Not difficult to make. Everyone of my guests loved it.
I really love this combination of flavors! Thank you very much for this very tasty recipe! I never made cheesecake be4, but this one was so easy to make and tasted awesome! :-)
I forgot to say I made the crust with Vanilla Waffers. You need to use a little more than what the recipe calls for but adds to the flavor

I love this recipe. I have never made a cheesecake from scratch and this was very easy to make. I am making it for the 3rd time tonight.
This was so flavorful. I very much questioned the strawberries in the cheesecake (I am a bit of a purist), but they were DELICIOUS.
