Vanilla Bean Cheesecake

The cake is excellent!! And the instructions are easy to follow. I have never baked in a bath of hot water – and I have never used a vanilla bean – and I have never had success with “whipping cream” before. But I just followed step by step and it was easy to do.

This Vanilla Bean Cheesecake is the BEST cheesecake ever! You get four layers of utter deliciousness - graham cracker crust, rich tangy vanilla bean cheesecake, white chocolate mousse and a sweet fluffy whipped cream layer. You'll be savoring every last bit of it!
