Cheesecake Oh My!

Here are the results of my attempt at baking a cheesecake and I topped it with blueberry preserves.  For an easy time cutting the cake, I recommend using dental floss which worked like a charm.  I need to put something on the outside of the cake, maybe a nice mix of graham crackers or almonds would work great.

The taste was great.  It was exactly how I like my cheesecake, on the borderline of flaky but moist.  It was a bit sweet but everyone thought the taste was just fine.  I might reduce the sugar down by 1/2 cup to a 1 cup for the recipe and it should cut the sweetness down.  You can have it without the preserves as it stands on its own without toppings because it's moist enough.  I think simple fresh fruit would be enough with this.

Now I know how to bake a cheesecake and I can't wait to try another one.  Maybe next time, I'll conquer the age old challenge of baking a perfect cheesecake.  Darn cracks!
