Reviews
I gave the recipe 2 stars because my husband actually thought it was ok. I have been searching for the best blueberry cheesecake recipe for a long time, and I was excited to see this one with the cottage cheese and sour cream in it. But I was really disappointed, and I'm a pretty good baker. First, I think the flour and especially the cornstarch in the batter is a ruiner, I could taste them in the finished cake. Second, the batter grew on baking and did not fit in a pretty large and tall springform pan so the edges got very tall and it cracked horribly. I give it credit for a nice blueberry topping and a pretty good presentation.
By far the BEST cheesecake EVER!
This cheesecake is fantastic!! Since I am not a big fan of blueberries, I used a cherry pie filling and it turned out great. It was a huge success. Its also way easier to make than it looks.
way easier than regular cheesecake and consistently FANTASTIC!!
This is absolutely the best cheesecake I have ever eaten. My husband said that is was better than any "Cheescake Factory" cheesecake. High praise! I subsituted the blueberries with strawberries, due to my families preference. It is FABULOUS! Don't miss this one.
