This recipe was really wonderful. I made it for my husband's birthday and he seemed to enjoy it very much! Mine cracked a bit, too, like I see other people's version did, but it didn't make a bit of difference to the taste. If I were to change anything, I think I'd cut down on the number of eggs used because you can almost taste them, which I think clashes a bit with the sweet idea of a cheesecake. The crust is great and there's just a hint of flavor in the cheesecake -- 5 stars!

This recipe was okay. I think I may have undercooked just a little. The center was slightly set, but did not stiffen enough overnight. I was worried about cracking, so I took it out early, but still had one large crack in the center by morning. Not much flavor, maybe needs more villina or sugar. Crust was good, but too much nutmeg for my taste, would cut in half next time.

Thank you for an incredible cheesecake. This is the best tasting recipe I have ever found for cheesecake. It turned out perfectly. For my husband's birthday, I also used the same recipe and swirled strawberry juice into the batter after I had put it in the pan -very pretty. I topped it with a strawberry sauce and it tasted great. Better than any store-bought cheesecake!!

This was a delicious, thick cheesecake. I topped it with cherries and my company loved it.

Basic Cheesecake- definately basic and absolutely perfect. I made this cheesecake for a baby shower, it was easily the star of the afternoon! I was not attentive enough when I was cooking it - I let it go too long. The taste was still wonderful just cracked and crumbly. I think I will take Alton Brown's advice and use a water bath next time. I borrowed a springform pan- this cake has inspired me to buy my own pan. Thank you!!

Wow!!! This recipe is awesome. I have tried several recipes looking for one I like to use in the cookbook I'm publishing... I did make a few changes, such as adding more vanilla and using pumpkin pie spice and pecans in the crust, but those are just personal preferences. I made this cheesecake the day that a reporter from my local newspaper came to my house to interview me for an article, and she flipped. I also made it for some friends who came over for a small dinner party. I had to open the dishwasher and show them the dirty dishes to prove that it wasn't stre bought!!! Thanks A Lot :)

I baked this recipe with my husband and daughter and they loved it! We didn't have a speingform pan and a mixer so we ended up making 3 9"inch pans which were thin but still very delicious... We'll be baking this again and again.

I only baked it for 20min. Maybe my oven is hotter than most. I topped it with a blueberry drizzle and it was bangin'! Scrumdidlyumptious!

This cheesecake received rave reviews when I made it. One suggestion would be to cover the cheesecake during the final 1/2 hour of baking to prevent browning. Delicious.

I have tried numerous cheesecake recipes that never seem to come out perfectly. This one is as near to perfection as I've found. (At our family gathering, my niece actually said it was better than her mom's! ouch)Smooth, creamy, not too heavy, not too sweet. I'll definitely make it again and again.

This was the first cheesecake that I ever made & it turned out pretty ggod. The only reason I say that is because baking the crust the first 10 min, and then again with the cake, it came out very hard & burnt tasting. I think next time I will not bake it for the initial period, just with the cake. But the overall cheese portion was fabulous! Very dense and creamy.

My first "real" good cheesecake. Beats Jello by far :-) I have a family of 5 impatient testers. It didn't cool all the way before it disappeared, I give in easy. We are all stuffed. My wife says I should go to the store and get started on another so it'll be cool for tomarrow. I'm considering a water bath and starting with room temp ingredients. Not for taste or texture but I want a perfect looking cake.

Great recipe!!! Wonderful crust and very smooth silky texture. I used 2 Tbs. vanilla, I prefer a bolder vanilla flavor. After baking, I turned off the oven and left the cheesecake in to cool slowly for about an hour and a half. No cracks and it de-paned perfectly... Thanks for this wonderful recipe... It’s a “keeper”!

Yay! First cheesecake I have ever baked that worked. It got rave reviews too. There is a fine line between being done and overdoing where it cracks, but it still tastes fabulous!

This cheesecake was excellent; the first one that I had made with sour cream as one of the ingredients. The crust was excellent, too. I omitted the walnuts and added extra graham cracker crumbs. I baked mine in a 9 1/2 inch springform pan for 55 minutes and it turned out perfectly, and, best of all, this recipe produced a cake that didn't crack when set. YAY! My husband had never had a "real" cheesecake, and he said this one was one of the best things--dessert or otherwise--he had ever eaten!! Great recipe!! Thanks! :o)

EXCELLENT! Everyone thought it was store bought! Texture and taste was amazing, cracked a little but easily hidden with fruit pie filling topping. Crust was awesome even though I left out the nuts.

I found that sifting the flour into the batter helped it blend more evenly. The second timeI doubled up on the vanilla, which resulted in a cake we preferred to the first attempt--if you like the vanilla flavour to be less subtle you may want to do the same. A dense, rich cake that wasn't too sweet. The crust recipe is particularly good!
