italian cheesecake
I went to a international dinner club function and the theme was Italian. I decided to try a Italian Cheesecake. I researched online and found multiple recipes for this. I ended up combining a couple different ones, and some ideas of my own. I can never just follow a recipe without changing or adding something. The basic recipe I started with was Rachel Raye's, from there it was a jumble of others and me.
