Filling is yummy but I will never ever put this in a water bath again. I never done this with a cheesecake before and it was a complete disaster! The whole bottom later of the cheesecake is soaked.

My husband said this was his favorite of all the many different cheesecakes that I have made over the years. Very creamy and great tasting!

I made this for a very special friend's birthday-we all loved it. Will make it again, for sure:)

Absolutely Divine!! Not heavy like the other cheesecakes, and after a BIG meal it is wonderful. I took it to a pot luck and everyone wanted the recipe. No problem.

Forget the main meal. I went straight to the desert, thought i died, rolled under the table, and went straight into cheesecake haven :)

This is the creamiest cheesecake I've ever had. Much MUCH better than a restaurants.
