Sopapilla Cheeseccake

This is a super easy recipe that my dear neighbor Becky sent my way. At a few neighborhood gatherings she made this delicious faux cheesecake that everyone fell in love with. When you make it and realize how easy and wonderful it is you will fall in love too. This a great potluck dish and I can't say enough good things about it. Even my husband loves this and he is generally not a dessert person. Thanks Becky.
