I've passed this recipe on to dozens of folks. My daughter was so fond of it that she wanted it served for her wedding instead of traditional cake. — Howard Koch, Lima, Ohio

I made this for our Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone loved it. It was very easy to put together. Definitely a favorite.
I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving and it was delicious!! The only addition that I made was half tsp. of lemon juice. This cheesecake never cracks!!! Easy to make and it is truly "Best Ever Cheesecake".
This is similar to a recipe I use all the time, EXCEPT my recipe calls for 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp lemon peel in the filling. For the topping it is 1 cup sour cream, 2 tsp. vanilla and 2 tbsp. sugar. I only cook it for 25 minutes (depending on ovens) and then turn off the oven, open the door and let it sit for an additional 10 minutes (to prevent cracking). I have given this recipe to many of my friends as everyone raves about it. I also serve it with either fresh strawberry or blueberry sauce in the summer.
I made this cheesecake because my Mother-in Law requested. Our Niece and new Hubby came by and Mother-in-Law they all loved it and wanted the recipe. I use Taste of Home recipes quite a bit and have never had a failure. A wonderful place to find and get recipes.
Made this cheesecake and took into work everybody loved it. I used dark chocolate digestive biscuits (UK) for the Base and when I cooked it I put a loaf tin of boiling water on the oven shelf under the cheesecake. I will make again and vary the flavours. I agree it's a little flat but still lovely
To Meaghon89 ---- Yes just Double the filling Ingred and bake for the regular Time then check it. Some thing most beginners don't know about Cheesecakes is they don't set up fully until it chills. When I make a Cheesecake I always test it by wiggling the pan a little. In the middle of cake it should not be set all the way about the size of a walnut then check with a thin knife outside of the center of cake. If it comes out clean and you have the middle not fully set its done. Don't keep baking thinking it's under cooked because its not. Hope this helps those who are making this for the first time...
I made this cheesecake last night and had it for breakfast lol. It was very good. But it was a little to thin/flat would i just double the recipe and cook a little longer for a thicker cheesecake?
Delicious! Truly simple and simply the best!
I love the simplicity of this cheesecake....only four ingredients in the filling! This is what I think of when I imagine cheesecake, as it reminds me of what my mom used to make. I think I'd like it even better without the crust.....I know I've seen recipes for crust-less cheesecake, but don't know if that would work in this recipe. The crust is a little too sweet for me, and I actually just eat the filling and topping. I also like the fact that this doesn't make a great big cake, and only requires a nine inch pie pan.
