Need help finding cheesecake recipe!--update:Here it is!

[Voice of Liberty]

I need help from my fellow DISers! I am looking for a recipe for Neapolitan Cheesecake that was in the Dec/Jan '98 issue of Taste of Home magazine. I promised someone that I would make it for them, and wouldn't you know....that is the ONLY issue that isn't on the bookshelf with all of the others! (maybe one of these days I'll learn to put things back where they belong! ) I have searched this house over but still can't seem to find that issue. Anyway, it is a wonderful 3 layer (choc/vanilla/strawberry) cheesecake with a chocolate glaze over the top. Do any of you subscribe to Taste of Home and have that issue? Would you be willing to post that recipe for me? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanx!

I tried to help by going to the Taste of Home website but they won't give you the recipe, just how to buy a cookbook that has that recipe included!! Good luck! It sounds yummy!

OK, since I brought up that fabulous cheesecake, I'll post the recipe for you:
