Coconut Rum Cheesecake

Party time!

I've mentioned before how me and my mom always have a girls weekend when my brothers and dad go hunting or fishing, and this weekend is no exception.

After my mom had been gone for a week and I was the only girl in the house I am very excited about this. This is just what I need.

Of course every girl needs to indulge every once in a while, and what better way to do that than with cheesecake?

I truly believe cheesecake is the one thing that everyone loves. Some people don't care for chocolate, some don't like sugar cookies, but I have never come across anyone who doesn't like cheesecake.

Whenever I used to ask people at work what they liked they always replied cheesecake. Just mention the word and everyone starts paying attention real fast.

And of course coconut and rum just make it all the better. What doesn't rum make better?

And from the words of my mother about this cheesecake

"This may be the best thing you have ever made"

So try it out and enjoy!
