This recipe comes from my friend Jen (not sure who shared it with her)
It's a yummy cheesecake recipe just in time for the holidays that DOESN'T take 4 packages of cream cheese. Have you ever noticed cheesecake recipes require ridiculous amounts of the stuff?
Anyway this cheesecake is delicious, simple to make and perfect for entertaining. It comes with a warning however, KEEP FROZEN until ready to serve. It melts quickly and can get messy. Now on to the good stuff .....

Sounds yummy. I'm a huge fan of baked cheese cakes....oh, and those chocolate lava cakes (which are super easy to make.)
...and if you would like something different instead of putting almonds on top you could crush choc chip cookies(nice for kids), scor bar, oreo, the maple cookies( if your a peanut butter fan) crushed are good tooo. I usually drizzle caramel (or choc) on top after you put the serving on the plate and then put litte swirl of whipped cream on side just to dress it up a little
