Going away parties: another reason for cheesecake. A few months ago a beloved professor, now to friend Yvonne, moved to Florida. The last day we all made a lunch to say goodbye. So, I figured, why not bring something sweet to the potluck.
This cheesecake had a cookie base, cinnamon crunch filling, and a cream cheese icing on top. I questioned the cheesecake being too sweet because of the cinnamon and brown sugar filling and the icing but, the sour of the cheesecake actually balanced out the sweetness of all the sugars. Enjoy!
