What is your favorite recipe that you make for Thanksgiving?
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Food Lion. I received a promotional item to facilitate my shopping experience and review.
I read this post on my phone last week, and today at lunch I asked Presley if I should make cheesecake tonight. I don't really care what she said because I am making it no matter what anyone says. This is by far the BEST cheesecake recipe EVER! EVER.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think!!
DeleteWhere/when do I use the sour cream?
ReplyDeleteI need to update this recipe to be more clear. You put the sour cream topping on after you bake cheesecake for 30 minutes, then bake for 5 minutes. It sets up nicely when it's fully chilled. Hope this helps!
