Ok – don’t stress! I promise you this recipe is heaps easier than it looks!! This is another one of Tenina’s recipes – she calls it Impress without Stress and it is delicious!!!
Just remember to give yourself enough time to allow the finished cheesecake to set and cool in the fridge – I make this in the morning so it is ready for dinner that night.
