"Finding the perfect cheesecake recipe is impossible. There are so many different ways to make it. This recipe is for one of the simple, classic varieties with no crust. If you want to spice it up a bit, add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries to the filling, or top with a simple berry sauce."
