RECIPE BACKSTORY
This was just posted today on DailyCandy.com - it's a recipe from Sweet Lady Jane in L.A. (which I find way over priced and not as good as everyone claims it is. However, if you're not paying $55 for the 9inch round cheesecake, it's bound to taste a whole lot better - so give this a try.)
