*This is a family recipe, my uncle came up with it, so don't share it! It's just a Gonda family rule haha
*Covering just the crust with foil makes it so the crust doesn't burn and if you don't it will definitely burn.
*The filling usually takes longer than 20-25 min so just keep checking it.
*this turns out a little different but delicious every time :)
*this tastes delicious with any type of berry on top
I made this for Lared's birthday, and it is delicious! I LOVE the sour cream layer on top. I made Colleen Fuller's "New York Cheesecake" a few days later-- which is our usual, and our family gave mixed reviews as to the number 1.
