This was definitely a splurge for us! I have been wanting to make this cheesecake for a long time, but couldn't justify the calories or the time. I am not a big cake fan so for my birthday every year I get cheesecake. This year I decided this would be my choice. As I was making it, Port kept pointing out how many calories it had! I explained to him that I had been stuck in the house all week with sick kids and it was my birthday! I didn't care! This cheesecake was great, but you don't need a huge piece. It is definitely rich, but totally worth the splurge. Our family only ate some of the cheesecake and we froze the rest.
