As a teacher who has lived in eight different towns and taught in 11 schools in three provinces, I have sampled a multitude of staff room goodies and collected many recipes. The one for this delightful cheesecake has traveled with me since my second school. It's an excellent brunch item.

It was great. Has anyone tried making the cheesecake portion ahead of time and freezing it?

The picture was so pretty I couldn't wait to try it, I baked it on christmas eve, and it was just "ok", I thought it would be alot more "special" than it turned out...Maybe I did something wrong,but I did follow directions to a t.....So, while it was good, I don't think I would go thru the trouble to make it again.
