She used this recipe to sell her cheesecakes professionally. It appears rather basic but is a huge hit with any cheesecake officianado! We used to have raffles as fund raisers for this cheesecake.*** Submitted by Bright Larkin [fareshare@twave.net] Posted to FareShare 9-99 http://fareshare.tripod.com Edited and/or Formated by Art Guyer at thepoint@beachlink.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : From: Debbie Carlson
