HOLIDAY BRANDY ALEXANDER CHEESECAKE
You can make this cheesecake ahead of time and freeze up to a month. To freeze up to one month, wrap springform pan tightly with foil, and slide into a zip-top plastic freezer bag. I got this recipe out of my Southern Living Holiday Magazine Allowing chill time for a cheesecake is important for developing texture and flavor.
