This cheesecake was amazing! It was the first time I ever made cheesecake, and it turned out great. I put store-bought truffles on the top, alternating white chocolate and milk chocolate around the edges, and it looked very pretty. And it tasted even better! So creamy and chocolaty an delicious. Remember to refrigerate it for at least a few hours before serving, though.

amazing cheesecake!!! made this for dessert for my girlfriends birthday exceptional cheesecake really tastes like a fudge truffle!!! the only thing i have to say is leave it in the oven a little longer than the recipe says cuz the center wasn't done in 55 minutes but definitely worth making

This recipe is quite good though some people said it was too rich for them. I have an insatiable sweet tooth so that wasn't a problem for me. The crust in the recipe sounded a little odd so I made an Oreo crust instead. I baked it exactly 55 minutes, turned off the oven and left it in for another hour with the over door open a little. That did the trick with the cracks. There wasn't a single crack and it also didn't sink in the middle (which usually happens to me when I use a springform pan). So thanks to the other reviewers that had that suggestion. Next time I don't think I'll bake it quite as long though because for me it was slightly overbaked on the edges, but the middle was very creamy. Overall a very good recipe, but I doubt I'll make it very often because it is so rich for others and I don't want to eat the whole thing by myself! Well actually I'd like to, but I don't want to be as wide as I am tall!

This was an amazing cheesecake!! I did make two minor changes. I used my regular oreo crust instead of the recipe crust, and I added a chocolate ganache topping when it was cooled. It was divine!!!

Awesome cake! Gave 4 stars due to the crust, wasn't all that great! I will try again with the Brownie crust others have recommended.

This was so beautiful. Looked like a professional cake. Everyone loved it. Next time I will use dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor. I used the brownie crust and chocolate ganache like another reviewer and that was perfect.

made individually in foil wrappers with an oreo as the bottom. It was good, but it would be better as a whole cheesecake instead.

This was so rich and creamy. I brought it over to my friend's house and they raved about it. The only thing I did differently from the recipe was add some cayenne pepper because I wanted a little kick. So good.

Wow, really rich, a little goes a long way. I made an oreo crust and it was a great combo. I let everything come to room temp, and let it sit in the off oven for a hour, but i still got a fairly big crack- so i topped it with ganache.

Wow! This is so creamy and delicious. I followed the recipe exactly but I did bake the crust for 10 minutes before filling with the cheese mixture. Perfect! Thanks for the recipe.

I made this for my chocolate loving niece's birthday. I live in the UK and wasn't sure what vanilla wafers were so I used digestive biscuit crumbs. I cooked this in a water bath and left it in the cooling oven for a couple of hours. Drizzled white chocolate over the finished cake. A very big hit. Thanks Macs

AMAZING recipe! It does make a lot, though; I ended up having a huge 9-inch cheesecake and another smaller one. I might reduce all the ingredients by 1/3 next time.

Awesome!! This was the first ever cheescake I made!! It was very creamy. Not overly rich. The cookie crust wasn't quite right to me. It tasted good, but I think I would prefer a grahm cracker crust. I will definitly make again!!!

Delicious!.. I let it sit in the oven for an hour after baking and it looked perfect.. Served with whipped cream. Mine was very thick, so I think you can use a 10" springform pan if you have one!.. Thanks!

Delicious and very easy to make! The texture is just fabulous--very moist and smooth. Like others, I shut off the oven and left the cheesecake in it for another hour after the initial baking time. It was perfect! I also made a brownie crust, as suggested in another review, and it was a great compliment to the cheesecake! I coated my cheesecake with the Chocolate Ganache recipe from this website. Very, very yummy, and very, very rich--just a little slice will be sufficient! This was the perfect Valentine's Day dessert! (though it would work any time you really want to wow people without a lot of work!)
