I have never been a cheesecake fan. I know, that seems like blasphemy. So many people love cheesecake but I've always found it to be too heavy and rich. This is one the few cheesecakes I love because it has the flavors of cheesecake, but the lightness of a soufflé. I cannot recommend this enough.
Sometimes when I have extra cream cheese, I'll make half a recipe in a small 4 inch springform pan. I serve it with fresh fruit or a fruit syrup.
