This was a simple, easy cheesecake. I can see how it would be very simple to dress up. I used almond extract.

    This recipe is so good! I don't have a springform pan, so I adapted it into a pie. The recipe was ridiculously easy (which was good because I've never made cheesecake before). I used low fat cream cheese and condensed milk, topped it with canned cherries, and it was fabulous! I'm already planning the next time I'm going to make it. Thanks!
