I had wanted to make this Cheesecake a few weeks ago, but decided to make my OVER THE TOP ITALIAN CREAM CHEESE CAKE INSTEAD TO PLEASE MY HUSBAND since he had been waiting since October. I had worked out the details in my head, and was pretty sure it would work. I just love the flavor, I had a small sample after I took the last...
