Have a Fruity Fourth!

One of the best parts of summer, in my opinion, is the variety of fresh local fruit available. One easy way to take advantage of fresh, in season fruit is to incorporate them in your summer festivities.

What I love most about this cheesecake is that it's perfect for large gatherings... did you notice that the slices are pre-cut?? AND, it also gives you and your guests the perfect excuse to have more than one slice of cheesecake... of course you need to try it with strawberries and with blueberries! Think of it as the opportunity to get in all your fruit servings for the day... :-)
