With a cup of coffee.
Sometimes fruit is nice too.
 
This recipe is from a 1976 church cookbook.

It is quick to make and fairly inexpensive for a cheesecake recipe.

I hope you will give it a try.

Cheesecake Squares

Crust and topping

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup AP flour
½ cup chopped walnuts

Filling
8 ounce cream cheese
1 egg
2 T milk
1 T lemon juice
½ t vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine butter, brown sugar and flour using a pastry blender until it makes a crumbly mixture, add walnuts. Reserve one cup of the mixture for the topping. Press remaining mixture into the bottom of an 8 X 8 pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. While the crust is baking beat together the filling ingredients until smooth and creamy. When the crust comes out of the oven spread the filling mixture over the crust and top with reserved crumbs. Return to the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature and then place in the refrigerator uncovered and chill. Remove from refrigerator and cut into serving size pieces, cover and return to the refrigerator.
 
Kaluha with a chocolate graham cracker crust. In the 80s this was the go-to dessert for special occasions. 3 packages of cream cheese were called for in the recipe.

For a quick cheesecake, I have a no bake recipe that is served with cherry pie filling on top.
That sounds like what my mother used to make at holiday time. She called it "Cherry Goo." It may be the best thing I ever ate.
