PLAIN CLASSIC CHEESECAKE WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

A firm, yet creamy cheesecake… a classic that will never let you down when you want to serve a beautiful cheesecake to guests.  You can serve the cheesecake plain as it is tasty enough on its own, but if desired pour a tablespoon or two of Raspberry sauce (scroll down past the cheesecake recipe) over a slice and then serve it.  It looks pretty and festive!  Find the RASPBERRY SAUCE RECIPE BELOW THIS RECIPE.
