Cheesecake – Easy and Simple
If you’re looking for a basic and simple cheesecake recipe that is as good as it’s easy, here it is. A graham cracker crust topped with a filling of cream cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla that is baked is about as easy as it gets. ‘Not too sweet and not too rich, that’s what this one is.
I enjoy a rich cheesecake with varied flavors of peanut butter or chocolate or fruit. Yet sometimes a simple, plain cheesecake that actually tastes like cheesecake is not only nice and fun, but simple for a change.
This recipe will fill the bill – or hit the spot – or make your day. Try it. You’ll see.
