RECIPE BACKSTORY
I found this while surfing the net. My husband has been bugging me to make him a cheesecake but I was unsure. I had never made a cheesecake before what if it turned out nasty or fell apart? So I tried this one and low and behold it came out so pretty. My husband took the first bite and asked me to marry him again!
