My family gives this cheesecake to friends and coworkers at Christmas and everyone looks forward to receiving it every year! I double the recipe and make a 9-inch and 2 7-inch cheesecakes at a time. It freezes nicely and travels great.

I am 11, and made this yesterday. I think anybody my age and up should be able to follow the directions and make the cheesecake. It was really good and everyone loved it.
