Cheese!

As in cheese cake. <3 Corset is a sucker for cheese cake. This is a recipe I have had floating on my computer forever now. I got it from a friend who got it from a another. I love it because its simple and easy to modify. For example to add a flavor, just mix in a bit of coco powder or melted semi sweet and things start getting tasty. My fave mix in is to take some rasberries and put them in a pot on low heat with maybe a quarter cup of sugar water. Let them cook. Once this is done swirl it through the cheesecake with a knife. It's tasty. The internet has all sorts of nifty ways to swirl things and add flavor combo's if you are unsure of what the hell I am talking about.
