The story behind the recipe
My mum used to make this recipe when I was a young girl. My kids love this now & they know how to make it. My sister in laws also use this as their goto cheesecake recipe..its foolproof & special. It's great to have authentic recipes handed down through generations. My mum was from Mayo & moved to Galway with my Dad in the 50's. She loved baking & was an amazing mum ♥️
