One of my favorite cheese cake- creamy with the right amount of sweetness and perfect to sum up a meal...or rather just to indulge your sweet tooth.
I baked this cake over the long weekend and enjoyed every bit of it with good friends....I guess they loved it too :)
I like my cake less sweet, the recipe here has the right amount of sugar, but one can reduce 5 gms and the cake still comes out to be good. I even like to drizzle chocolate ganache before baking, with a dash of liqueur...in this case I used Tia-maria, but one can get rid of this as well. Chocolate is never enough so the left over ganache was just piped around the cake.
