The creamy and delicate flavors of white chocolate and acidic and bright flavors of lemon are combined in this ever so creamy cheesecake so an amazing party will happen in your mouth. It is do die for! I found it while looking on the internet for a yummy cheesecake, do to the fact that I had so much cream cheese that I didn't even know what to do with it all. Turns out, this is an award winning cheesecake! That award is well deserved. I made the crust my own version, and increased the amount of white chocolate and vanilla extract, but if you would like to have the exact recipe, feel free to go to this direct link: (Cooking time includes chilling time) http://www.tygerbright.com/lemoncheesecake.htm
