I made a wonderful cheesecake today for a friend. (She only gets a few pieces :)) I am not a good cheesecake maker, but this one is wonderful! I took a picture after trying a piece. I couldn't quite figure out the drizzle carmel and chocolate idea, more like plop it on the top, but it still was really good! It should have pecans sprinkled on top. Yummy Yummy!!
