OMG Absolutely to die for!!! ..... I made a Pecan Nut Cheesecake at the request of my son..... He took half home, leaving half with me..... It was tasted by all and absolutely adored, with the general consensus being 5star restaurant standard ..... I have since had 5 separate requests for me to make it again and 3 requests for the recipe.... Thank you so much for the most delicious cheesecake ever! .... I did however have to make a couple of adjustments as certain ingredients were not available here in the UK..... I substituted the Graham Crackers for Fox's Coconut Crinkle ...... 2 tsps of vanilla essence instead of butter flavouring and I used half sour cream and half double cream (I ran out of sour cream) .... I also had to bake it for 90 minutes

Excellent and easy to play with. Use as is or use diferent nuts (pistachios come to mind). @ heley. The water bath is essential as is does promote more even cooking but also keeps the cake from cooking too fast. It creates humidity in the oven that prevents the cake from cracking and looking like the victim of a 9.0 earthquake. In terms of the butter flavouring, I use 2tbsp of butter (adjust as you like) instead since I prefer natural as opposed to artificial chemically produced flavours

This is a great cheesecake recipe, and I will definitely make it again. I couldn't find butter flavouring, so substituted maple flavoring, then substituted walnuts for the pecans ... turning this into a delicious Maple Walnut Cheesecake. It got rave reviews from our dinner guests. In a 9" pan this is a pretty deep cheesecake and I found it took all of the 80 minutes and a bit longer to bake completely. I baked it in a hot water bath which may have contributed to a longer baking time, but worth the wait in that the top didn't crack at all .... it looked beautiful and tasted great!

Still in the oven and sure smells good. Butter flavoring I found at Bulk Barn. Why does it need a water bath does anyone know ? Does it cook more evenly with it or does it keep it from drying out?
