It's A Cheesecake Celebration!

When it is too hot to turn on the oven, and it's National Cheesecake Day, you make it anyway. Just don't bake it.  These recipes are not only delicious, they are easy. You just need a bit of time to have them set up in the fridge. As my Mom would say..."be sweet" and stay cool.
