@Sheree I make it up as I go along, but I posted the standard recipe. The main thing is most recipes call for only 2 Eggs, I have found that to be insufficient. The most important things to remember are the water bath, Real Vanilla, fresh lemon juice, and letting it cool down in the springform pan for at least a couple of hours before you top it. The balsamic thing is completely personal to the person making it. I just keep tasting the mix until I like it.
