Cinnamon Cheesecake
If you are a fan of cinnamon, then you will most definitely enjoy this baked cinnamon cheesecake. It is really an easy recipe, not difficult at all. I used to make this recipe as a summer dessert or for high tea occasions. If you would try out another cheesecake, the New York Cheesecake is absolutely delicious with the cream cheese, lemon and orange flavours. For something more cinnamon, my home-made cinnamon ice-cream is a must with chocolate brownie.
