Went to make my Mother's recipe for cheesecake for my boyfriend...Mom always made this receipe for my Dad for his birthday! He passed more than 38 years ago, just a hint at how old the recipe must be. Her recipe calls for Zwiebach toast crumbs. I searched three different stores not knowing it was disconntinued! I ended up using Stella Dora Almond Cookies (looks like biscotti) and it was perfect! Just the right flavor - the crumbs were a bit more coarse than Zwieback but perfectly acceptable. I had forgotten how good this cheesecake recipe was!
