Cheesecake

I made this cheesecake for Valentine's Day for my husband and it was so delicious! It is melt in your mouth good! I love that the crust is so moist and not all dried out and fake like the store bought kind. Yum! The power was out all day at our house so I had to make this up at my mom's in order to have it done for dinner. I failed to bring my camera with me so I wasn't able to get any step-by-step shots. So all you get is the end result shot today. Sorry. But trust me, it was so easy and so good!
