"I love the lighter flavor and texture of this cheesecake. This is not the super thick, rich cheesecake you find at restaurants nowadays. Mom served it with a sour-cream topping, that I've included here, but I like better without. This makes a small cheesecake, you can increase the recipe to 1 1/2 times for a 9" pie plate. By the way, I found out by accident that if I increase the cooking time, this tastes more like the dense NY style cheesecakes, but I still like Mom's way better."
