Perfect advice!

I predict disappointment because this "cheesecake" is absolutely nothing
like NY cheesecake and so to fiddle with the recipe without knowing where
you start from seems headed for disaster.
I buy this at my deli. It is firm and dry and the one sold here tastes
lemony, not orangey. I like it, not as much as NY cheesecake, but I do like
it. But it is more cake than one is used to, stiffer, less creamy, much
less rich and amaretto would not come to my mind at all because it seems too
sweet.
