   crumbs evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Press
   crumbs down lightly. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together cream
   cheese, sugar, vanilla, and apricot brandy with an electric mixer for
   at least five minutes or until very smooth. Add melted white

    This cheesecake freezes very well, and makes about 12-14 slices. It
   goes well with commercial fruit sauces or fresh fruit but it is so
   delicious that it really doesn't need anything else! It does look
   nice when it is garnished with fresh raspberries and mint sprigs
   though. This one has been described as "to die for"!!!
