Homemade Cheesecake
"Several years ago, I needed to make a dessert to bring to a dinner party, I had never made cheesecake before, but I figured how hard could it be. It’s actually pretty easy to make cheesecake from scratch, it just takes a little planning and preparation. It’s important for the cream cheese and the eggs to be at room temperature, so that they blend together better to give you a creamier cheesecake. Some recipes say that you should bake your cheesecake in a water bath to prevent cracking but I’ve never had an issue with that so you can do it either way. I really think you’re going to love this recipe, my family asks me to make this all the time and it’s so much better than store bought or what you get in a restaurant."
