Everything is perfect about this cheesecake from the crust to the toasted almonds, but the delicate creamy cheesecake is the star. If you follow Rick's directions with the water bath and unusual baking method you will have one of the creamiest cheesecakes. Not only is it rich and decadent, but it is beautiful too.
