Classic cheesecake is always a tasty dessert! While it is definitely delicious with a nice graham cracker crust and a scrumptious berry sauce, I love to use this cheesecake recipe for more than just a plain cheesecake. I use this recipe as a base recipe for other cheesecakes, as well as utilizing it as an incredible filling for cakes and cupcakes!
