The dessert, Molly notes, is another tried-and-true family favorite. "My mother made this scrumptious dessert for years," she says. "It's creamy and satisfying, and folks always ask for the recipe."

This is a perfect dessert when our company doesn't eat anything with flour or sugar. I substitute Splenda and it is delicious.

Made with vanilla extract instead of almond, this small cheesecake is every bit as good as a large New York style cake. I have two mini cheesecake pans that I use when making this. The 6-inch pan is large enough to make the cake with the topping. The smaller 4-inch pan is only big enough to hold the cheesecake ingredients, but cannot accommodate the topping without spilling over. That leaves us with plain ol' cheesecake, but that's OK. Both versions are excellent and just big enough for us to enjoy a rich dessert without going overboard.
