I was looking for a perfect cheesecake recipe for the last couple of days and this seems perfect. And i liked the sub-heading up there, "less sugar and lower fat" - now that means I have gotta try this one! Thanks.

Interesting, big difference to Cordon Bleu Cheesecake which requires cream cheese/ Formage Blanc and is two stage baking-no flour. I always knew NY Cheesecake was different.
