A friend gave me this recipe and it's quickly become popular at our house. I enjoy making it when we entertain. My husband and I are dairy farmers and have three pre-school age children. I enjoy trying new recipes as well as yardwork and crafts. -Patricia Plett, Blumenort, Manitoba

This cheesecake is a bit too dense for my taste. I would prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.

The crust on this cheesecake was a bit too dry for my liking. I would try using a different recipe for the crust next time.

This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
