This cheesecake is a little bit different from many others I've had over the years. It has layers that you see when you cut into it. There's a few cheesecakes with the sour cream added on top, but I've not tasted or seen any like this one; it is special. Everyone over the years has just enjoyed it to the max.
Years ago, I tweaked my mom's cheesecake recipe a bit (only by adding the fruit) on top, as that makes it so colorful and yummy. Sometimes I call it my "California Cheesecake", though I live in Vegas. I'm from CA.
It's so creamy dreamy, and every bite is absolutely delicious. It takes a bit of time to make, but this is one of those things that's worth every minute to make, for every yummy bite later.
