This is a delicious cheesecake. Our guests loved it. I did change the crust because we don’t care for the graham cracker crust. I made the crust with vanilla wafers and crushed pecans.
The cheesecake was very good but the topping was horrible. I added to much lemon juice. Threw it out and replaced with the strawberry topping I usually make.
Not a fun of cheesecake but when I baked this, I became one. The only thing is I baked this 4 times already and yet I can't make the cheesecake stick to the crust. Also it was a little soft/soggy. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
A waterbath is almost a requirement for a cheesecake that isn*t cracked. I have had a couple end up as cheesecake soup by setting the pan IN the water... I just put a turkey pan with at least a quart, more wont hurt, of water on the bottom rack. Then put cheesecake on the rack directly above water. Works like a charm everytime. Love Love LOVE to make this 1....
I love it! I gave some to my neighbor and she said it was the best she has ever had!!
This is so sweet now that i dont have to buy it anymore i can make my own this will be myfirst time making it wish me luck
I have made cheesecakes many times before, but I believe this was the best tasting one yet! Got raves from everyone who had a piece and I will definitely put this at the top of my cheesecake recipe list!
I made this for a romantic dinner date for my husband and I and he absolutely loved the cheesecake. It did crack like some of you were saying. Next time I'll have to try the foil/water trick.
Absolutely the BEST cheesecake recipe ever! Victoria Elaine, your tip on wrapping the pan in foil and putting it in some water was amazing. You are right -- no cracks at all!! Yippee!
I made this for my aunt's birthday, it was *fabulous*!! Can't wait to make it again. :)
