Plan ahead: You can prepare and bake cheesecake up to 1 week ahead and refrigerate. I found this recipe in Woman's Day magazine. I have not tried it but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too runny.

This cheesecake was a bit too heavy for my taste. The flavors were good, but the texture was a bit dense.
