I know I like flavored cheesecakes more than I do plain cheesecakes with fruit toppings so that is what I usually gravitate to. I have collected a few delicious sounding cheesecake recipes on my Tasty Treats Pinterest board so I decided it was time to give cheesecake a try. First, I needed to get a springform pan. A friend of mine was having a Pampered Chef party so I got my pan from there. It comes with a glass bottom and is a really nice pan. Then I had to decide which recipe to tackle first. I chose the Brownie Sundae Cheesecake from Justapinch.com.

We served ours with additional hot fudge sauce drizzled over the cheesecake.

I brought the cheesecake to my small group where it was met with wonderful reviews. On Monday I brought a piece to my Pastor, who is a great cook himself, and he said it was wonderful. I brought the rest of it to work on Thursday where it was gobbled down and I was told I could make it for them every week! So, I guess it was a hit. This was my first ever cheesecake and I have heard so many stories about how hard it is to make cheesecake so I am doubly proud of this success.
