This recipe is awesomeeeee ! In spite of the small amount of cheesecake you will get, the taste is very delicious like every reviewer talked about. I actually used 3 ( 12 ounces ) of cream cheese and used 3 eggs - although the cake still not much you can get, but its just enough for me & my family since we're not one-big-slice-cheesecake-fans. We eat with desire portion - small scale. and in spite the fact that I add up more cream cheese and egg, I didn't add more sugar onto the batter, the amount of sugar remain the same with 1 tsp of vanilla extract. The taste its just what I look for, not too sweet cheesecake - more on cheese taste.

Of course it's a thin cheesecake - you can tell that by the amount of ingredients. If you want the appearance of thicker slices, adjust the quantities accordingly. It's a very good recipe!

Flattest cheesecake ever! I see that was a common problem for reviewers and I wish that I had read that before making this cheesecake. It's about a 3rd the thickness of any other cheesecake I've made.

I was really happy with the results from this recipe. Since I live in a foreign country I didn't think it would work. My challenges were expensive ingredients, different type/size of dairy products, and using a microwave oven. Thankfully it was very good. I used oreo cookies instead of graham crackers since we don't have those here. I added 4 tablespoons of yogurt and not as much chocolate batter (maybe 1/2) as suggested. Thank you for an easy and delicious recipe Amy!

This is a great recipe. I made it for Valentines Day in the shape of a heart. I used oreo cookie crumbs for the crust. I have also made it iced with chocolate ganache.

The fact of the matter is that if you have to alter the main ingredients of the recipe, I don't see how it can get very many stars. Easy to make? Yes, but so is the boxed cheesecakes as well. This is a thin cheesecake that would thus make it too thin to be a cheesecake. Putting half of the cheesecake with the chocolate mixture is way too much and does not allow for a good marbled affect. I enjoyed reading the various methods of trying to create this affect. Once again, too vital a piece of this recipe to have to alter. However, it tastes good except for all the crust.

I added an extra egg and extra cheese because it didn't seem to be enough. It is not a very high cheesecake. My husband loved it though!

This was easy to make and turned out really well. My only complaint was too much chocolate in the marbeling (however my husband who is a chocolate lover thought it was perfect.)

I had to sub a few things because I didn't have everything on hand (cocoa powder; cake pan). Judging by previous reviews, this recipe is pretty flexible. If you're handy in the kitchen it should work for you and your experiments. Mine turned out well and the chocolate polka dots were fun to look at and tasty.
