Made this Thanksgiving 2009. Followed the recipe exactly. This was BY FAR the best "homemade" cheesecake my wife and I have ever had. I used a jelly roll pan with about 3/4" water in it. Buttered the sides and bottom of the springform pan. Wrapped the outside in foil. Baked @ 350 for 1 hour, turned off oven, went to bed. Did not even peek!! I must say that the top was significantly more brown than I anticipated. No worries, the taste was unreal. Cannot wait to make this again for the next gathering. Congrats to Chantal!!!

This cheesecake came out AMAZING! I followed the recipe exactly. There were no cracks, and it was cooked perfectly. I made sure to mix all the ingredients on the lowest setting of my mixer. If you have a mixer that doesn't have a LOW LOW speed just use a spoon after you mix the cheese and sugar like some other reviewers have sugested. One tip, if you are worried about air bubbles after mixing, run a knife slowly through the cheese mix before putting it into the springform pan, it helps to bring the bubbles to the surface so they pop! I will be making this recipe again for Christmas!

No need to look any further for a delicious New York Cheesecake recipe. This is by far the best I've ever had. I love making this for company because I know they will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing, you should be proud!

This recipe rocks! This was my first cheesecake attempt. By following the recipe and reading the other reviews I made a cheesecake that is better than the cake in our favorite bakery. I doubled the butter for the crust and added one egg white as someone else had suggested. My crust held together perfectly. Now I know what to make for our Brownie bake sale! Thank you!

This long island girl LOVED this cheesecake! I made this exactly as directed in a 10in springform pan and it came out PERFECT. No crack, perfectly white and thick but still creamy. My whole NY family loved it.

I have found a holiday mainstay dessert & vow never to buy a ready-made cheesecake again. Mine cracked but I think that one of the teenagers disturbed it during the hours in the oven... nobody cared! Definitely make this if you want to impress!!!

This cheescake is out of this world, I get so many request to make this from the guys in my husbands job, I changed it a bit, I add 5 eggs and no flour to make it creamier, then put a 1/2 cup of sour cream to the top after it's done baking and has cooled off. Amazing recipe!! Thanks for sharing...

This recipe is fantastic! I had to add a little more butter to the graham cracker crumbs, but I didn't have whole graham crackers to start with so I may have had too many crumbs... Also I realized when i was half way thru mixing that I had grabbed a carton of cottage cheese instead of sour cream!!! Out of desperation I ran the cottage cheese thru the food processor and used it instead, cutting the flour down to 2 tbl since the cottage cheese was thicker than sour cream. But it still turned out FANTASTIC!!! Everyone loved it!

This was great! I've never made cheesecake before, and decided to give it a shot for Thanksgiving...I know so daring :-) I changed this recipe up a bit, for the crust I did a ginger snap crust (1.5 cups of crumbled gingersnaps, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter) and after I baked it and waited for it to cool I made pumpkin chiffon. I took off about 1/2 of the top layer of the cheesecake and layered on the pumpkin chiffon. This made it a double layered cake, half cheesecake and half pumpkin chiffon. The pumpkin chiffon is very light and frothy so it was a nice compliment to the heaviness of the cheesecake. It was so yummy, I'm making it for work tomorrow!

Probably the best cheesecake I've ever made. I always had a problem with overbeating it. Read the first review and definitely put in the extra effort to mix it with a wooden spoon after creaming the sugar and cream cheese. I baked this on thanksgiving day for a post thanksgiving dinner the following day. Put it in the oven an hour before I had to leave for dinner, turned it off and left the house with the cake in the oven so I wouldn't be tempted to open it. Great recipe, will try it with other flavors (orange/chocolate).

This is the first cheesecake I have ever made. I couldn't find a springform pan in any of the stores, and decided to scale down the recipe and just make mini cheesecakes. They turned out perfect! I baked them in the oven at 350 for 25 min (wasn't sure if I needed a water bath to make the minis, so I put boiling water in a pan on the rack below the cheesecakes). I turned off the oven and let them cool for an hour and then put them in the fridge. I served them with a dollop of heated strawberry preserves (unseeded).

Good base recipe, I changed it to my personal liking. Always add a tbsp of lemon juice. I use only 3 eggs and 3 packages of cream cheese. The flour isn't necessary. Also I use heavy cream in place of milk, adds a nice richness and creaminess to the cake.

This is a very good cheesecake recipe. This was my first cheesecake and came out amazingly good. My family could not believe this cake wasn't store bought. Already there are requests for the next one. The only thing i change was the crust, I used the Graham Cracker Crust 1 recipe from this site. All of my ingredients that I use was room temperature e.g milk,eggs,cream cheese and sour cream.I didn't have a big pan to do an water bath, so I boil some water put the water in a pan directly under the cheesecake and bake it for one hour, turn the oven off and did not open the oven until six hours later. The best time for me to bake this cheescake was at night, there were no temptations for me to open the oven I was sleeping : ). If you are a fan of cheesecake this is a must have recipe.
