The combination of cream cheese, cottage cheese and sweetened condensed milk makes for an incredibly rich cheesecake. A homemade graham cracker crust is easy to make (bake it while you make the filling for the cake) and we think it's so much better than store-bought. This recipe is a bit labor-intensive but the cake can be made up to a day ahead, so it's perfect for entertaining. Click here to visit the new home of KitchenDaily!
Tasting this cheesecake will quickly bring the South to mind. For me, it always conjures up the image of a couple swinging on the front porch, taking in the beauty of the huge magnolia tree out in their yard.
