Recipe(tried): Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

Ok, Nancy, this isn't so light, but answers the, "to die for", part! It's wonderful!!(The recipe does say you can use some light ingredients.)It serves 12 to 16, so you would have to make several, but you can wrap them airtight for up to 2 days.
