Cheesecake Recipe
 

We are having a BBQ at my work on Thursday and I am planning on making pasta salad, water gate salad, and a cheesecake.

Thing is I have never made a cheesecake before and while there are lots of recipes online I was wondering if any of our resident tilted cookers had good tips and recipes.

I want a light lemon flavor so I am going to add some fresh lemon zest, maybe even a little orange zest. But I would like it to be light and decadent.

I would like to have cherry compote to serve with it but don't want to be making that as well, any good brands that anyone could recommend? (I live in California so no East Coast brands, its just a tease!)

Thanks in advance everyone! :thumbsup:

I've made quite a few of them. My kids and exes are fanatical cheesecake freaks. The best ones I've made have come from Southern Living mag.

You mentioned lemon and fairly light, so I found this one we've enjoyed once or twice. It's a little different than the standard cheesecake, but everyone loves it.
