Oh, my gosh! This is gorgeous! My little sister just called me at my desk to tell me she and her husband are expecting their first baby, and she is the absolute cheesecake queen. I believe I will unleash this very one on everybody this weekend to congratulate her. One quick question though, there aren't nearly enough of us to eat the whole thing and I also don't own a springform. Is this something I could make a half batch in a 9" tart pan, would you say? I feel dumb asking, but some recipes can't be scaled, as I have found out the hard way more than once. Thanks for the wonderful post, and I'm REALLY looking forward to my upcoming backrub. (grin) Yes, you may reduce this recipe. But a half batch is still going to overwhelm a 9" tart pan. You will likely only need 1/3 of the recipe for a tart. Frank @ KAF.
