DH is “Dear Husband” for anyone wondering, and my DH absolutely loves cheesecake as much as I do. Naturally, our kids do too. As a bunch of picky cheesecake eaters, we all agree New York style is the best, and that this recipe does it justice. You can eat this yummy cake plain or top it with just about anything you want. I personally enjoy putting cherry pie filling on my slice. My husband prefers chocolate sauce.
So what are you waiting for? Get a fork!
