JIMMY'Z KICK-N CHEESECAKE

yield:

I believe my dish is a winner because it is very unique, it has a great flavor and it looks great. The taste is just something you cannot explain; you just must taste it. I also believe you will not find any other recipe more flavorful and delicious, as well as great to look at.
