I bought this into work and received rave reviews. I modified it somewhat by skipping the full top chocolate layer and instead just drizzled the chocolate over the cake (it seems a full layer may overpower it too much and make the top too "heavy") I also used a water bath to avoid the common mishaps of overbaking and cracks.

Absolutely phenomenal cheesecake recipe! I had a 9" pan, not 10", so I baked it for 55 minutes (not 45), then for 8 minutes (not 7) once sour cream was put on. I did leave out cinnamon in the crust. I also put a large stainless steel bowl over the cheesecake once I took it out of the oven (had read that it helped maintain moisture while it cooled) till it was completely cooled. It came out perfect,and just like other reader's attested, was gobbled up by all. I will make this over and over again.

This is the first baked cheesecake I've made and it's so amazing! I made it exactly as the recipe said and am so pleased with it! I haven't had a cheesecake this good in a long long time. It's rich, creamy, sweet, decadent, tastes like it cost $20 or more at the store. I love how it has layers and I wouldn't change anything about it. It did take quite awhile to make but was so worth it. And it makes a huge cake also, I used a 10 inch springform pan and it went right up to the top of it!

I liked the cheesecake allot. But I made the mistake of cooking it a too small pan, other than that it was great. But next time I might not add the sour cream or chocolate glaze topping, The cheesecake itself was enough.

Delicious. Creamy, not too "cakey" or dense, but plenty, plenty rich and decadent! My husband got an itch to make a cheesecake -- his first -- and this was the recipe. It really turned out great. One thing for next time, we will probably use more butter (maybe half again as much, or even double it?) in the crust to have it hold together a little better. Also, the Pampered Chef springform pan is NOT big enough for this recipe. We made a little extra crust, distributed the extra batter among muffin cups and baked them separately.

This is probably one of the BEST cheesecakes I have ever tasted! I changed a few things though; I left the cinnamon out of the crust, and to the batter I added about a 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and over the stove I mixed together 1/3 cup whipped cream with 1/3 cup unsweetened chocolate chips, which I also added to the batter. Also, for the topping, I left out the sour cream part completely, and I used half the whipped cream to melt with unsweetened chocolate chips, and the other half to melt with white chocolate chips. After they both cooled, I poured the darker chocolate mixture over the top of the cake, and followed it with the white chocolate, which I marbled together with the dark with the convex side of a spoon. Ontop of that, I poured on some of that butterscotch stuff that comes in a can and that's clear, smoothed it over the topping, and was done. Also, I don't think it makes a difference whether the cake is warm or not when you put the topping on. I've made this numerous times and either way it's turned out well. This cake is great!

This was a fantastic recipe. We made for my mom for Mother's Day and everyone loved it! I read one review about the cinnamon, so I only used 1/2 tsp. and it was not overpowering. The only problem that I had was that the center did not set and I am not quite certain why, but it did not change the taste at all. The next time I make it I think that I will add more cookies to the center layer. Thank you for a great recipe that I know I will definitely make again.

The BEST cheesecake I have made to date. It was so creamy and wonderful. I must have undercooked it because it was a bit runny. But who cares...it was GREAT!

My husband and his co-workers said this cheesecake was "amazing!" One even said it was the best dessert he had ever tasted. Mine didn't look like the one in the picture. Instead, mine was layered. The chocolate ganache topping covered all of the top of the cheesecake, about one-quarter inch deep, and made a lovely, neat-looking (smooth) top. Next was the sweetened sour cream layer. The texture of the sour cream concerned me at first, because I feared the cheesecake wasn't set, but it turned out it was just the texture of the sour cream. Even though it was initially concerning to me, everyone else thought it was fantastic, and one of the best details of the cake. After that was the cheesecake layer, also visually interesting with the cookie pieces inside of it. Yes, it took three hours to prepare, but made a very large cheesecake that fed quite a few guys that can really eat dessert. Thank you for a great recipe! Will definitely save for a special occasion!

yum! i used a lot more than 2 cups of cookie crumbs for the crust, because i wanted it to go up the sides a bit, and left out the cinnamon. this was a huge hit! ive never made cheesecake before, and it might have had a huge crack or something but the sour cream and chocolate toppings covered up any mistakes :) the chocolate top was fabulous. thanks so much!

Excellent! Skip the cinnamon. In my opinion it's better without. I've had it both ways, and I think it's too overpowering in the crust, and distracts from the delicate cookie/cheesecake flavor. A new favorite that got overwhelmingly rave reviews. Everyone said it was the best cheesecake they had ever had.
