Last week we celebrated the holiday of Shavuos. During this holiday we are celebrating G-d giving us the Torah which occurred on Shavuos at Mount Sinai over 3,300 years ago.
It is a holiday typically filled with dairy meals, and with that, obviously, comes cheesecake. So much cheesecake.
Unfortunately, somehow this year I managed not to eat any cheesecake. Still pretty sad about that. So I thought I’d share the best cheesecake recipe ever, and drool a little bit in the process.
