Cheesecake (sandwiches cheese)

Last evening, I baked this Cheesecake using sandwiches cheese instead of block cream cheese. Once in a blue moon, I will bake cheesecake as my family not fancy of cheesecake. Every time I bought a block of cream cheese I only used half block and the balance will be sitting in fridge waiting to expired.


I love this cheesecake as its texture and taste is in between light cheesecake and rich cheesecake. :) I do like light cheesecake but some recipe either used too less cheese or too much egg which has very mild or no taste of cheese at all.
