This is my go to recipe for my staple vanilla cheesecake! This always goes down a treat with family and friends, and you can alter it to the time of the year. For example, I have placed a malteaser’s chocolate bunny and some mini Easter eggs on top to fit my Happy Easter theme! It is also a no-bake recipe, so it is super easy to make for any occasion and you can alter toppings to your taste.
