I haven't made a cheesecake in a few years. I love cheesecake, but I've never had great luck making it. This recipe looked pretty simple and and straightforward, and it was. I'm glad I decided it to give cheesecake another try. I prepared and baked the cheesecake the day before I served it to give it plenty of time to chill. I always feel a little nervous unmolding cakes from my spring form pan, and I felt especially wary this time as I realized that the recipe didn't call for greasing the pan. I needn't have worried, though; this one released easily in one piece. The distinct crust, cheesecake, and sour cream layers looked fancy on the plate over a dollop of berry sauce.
This cheesecake seemed lighter than others I've eaten, which everyone seemed to like. I think almost everyone had a second slice, and my friend's 8-year-old son ate maybe one quarter of the cake.
The berry sauce came together easily as well. I doubled the recipe using fresh strawberries and lime. It added a nice fruity flavor to the dessert.
Ooooo, I wanted to try this one, too. It looks perfect! I like my cheesecake with the sour cream layer on top and, in fact, never had it any other way until I moved out west. The berry sauce looks yummy, too. I'll have to give it a try.
