This cheese cake was a staple around our table growing up. My mom was often asked to make it for family gatherings and we were always happy when she did! Simple, quick, deliciousness. If you’ve never made it, please give it a try! Have fun with toppings. In celebration of our Independence Day, I chose blueberries and strawberries. They are never wrong, and never is cheese cake. 😉 Hope you’ll try this and enjoy!
