Wow! I made this for my mom for her birthday and everybody fell in love. They actually chose the cheesecake over the DQ cake! I am not a dessert eater and I had to limit myself to two pieces or I may have eaten the entire cake. Having a wheat intolerance this would not have left me feeling well but would have been totally worth it! I am going to make this again for my sister's birthday but am going to modify it b/c she wants hers to be chocolate NY cheesecake.

While this may make a very nice cake, I just have a comment from over 35 yrs in the restaurant industry - true New York style cheesecake does NOT use a graham cracker crust! It's crust is made from butter and flour!
