My husband and I love this basic recipe! It's easy for me (I'm VERY pregnant right now) and we can add whatever we want to it! Today we made banana pancakes, last week it was blueberry. They're AMAZING just as they are, too :) But when you have cravings, you have to give in... haha. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!

Unfortunately, I was not as impressed as I hoped I would be... for one reason: the cook temperature turned out to be too low for my personal taste. The cheesecake turned out too creamy/custard-like instead of the texture of New York cheesecake. I've made lots of cheesecakes at lots of temperatures but this one just didn't work for me. I did make the alterations of using 3 packages of cream cheese and 4 eggs. I also added a tad more sugar because I kept the 3/4 cup of lime juice (I'm pregnant, I love lime!). I also added lime zest to the mixture. It TASTES amazing, but the texture doesn't work. After baking at 250 for 60 minutes, I took it out wanting to give it a shot at setting up. It only cracked and didn't change texture, so I put it back in the oven at 300 for 15 minutes. That did the trick... luckily I don't care about cracking. Haha. Overall I would recommend this, but with previous suggestions and upping the temperature if you like hard cheesecake like me!

This icing is amazing... I prefer to put it in the fridge for a while before spreading it on the buns (usually make the icing before the buns and allow the buns to almost cool before serving). I also add about 1/2-1 teaspoon of orange extract. It's just a HINT of orange, and it tastes AMAZING with the cinnamon. I use my favorite roll recipe: 90 Minute Cinnamon Rolls. I definitely recommend that recipe, and this!!!
