I think this is the prettiest cheesecake when you get it done and garnished. It's fancy enough for guests and easy enough for a Wednesday night supper. I would associate it with summer, but if you're one of those people who likes to fix "summer foods" in the winter for a cabin fever fixer, this cheesecake is gonna pick you right up!
