Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake

The Jewish holiday of Shevuot is  coming and one of the delicious foods, we eat is cheesecake.  From home to home, we find different kinds of cheesecakes, some plain, others elaborate.  I plan to make a fancier one but then, I revert back to a nice plain cheesecake, rich in flavor and creaminess.  This year, I made the Cheesecake Factory cake.  It has a nut crust made with three different nuts which is yummy.  It needs more crust so that it is thicker but it is good.  I didn't want to cut the cake so I don't  know what the filling tastes like.  I was going to slice strawberries and put them on top but I decided to make a nut topping.  I took some cinnamon, sugar and nuts and sprinkled the combination on top.

Tia from Buttercream Barbie posts a monthly list of Copy Cat recipes.  This is for her.
