This is one of the best cheesecakes I have ever had. First time making it too! I added 1/4 tsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp of vanilla. Cooked at 400* for 10 minutes then 200* for 3 hours. Let it sit in the oven for 1-2 hours. Then let it cool on the counter for another 1-2 hours. It turned out perfect-no cracks!! The only thing I would change is maybe a little less sugar next time. It is just a touch sweet.. but still VERY GOOD! Thanks for this recipe!! So very generous to share with everyone!

I made this and it is a good recipe but it is way too sweet. I cut the sugar to 1 cup and it was still sweet! I will try this again with 1/2 or 3/4 cup of sugar.

I made these but forgot to add the vanilla as everyone suggested. I made 12 small muffins. They turned out pretty good. I used all the topping! next time I will add the vanilla, cook 5 minutes less ( I over cooked just touch arggg ), use less topping.
