Well this was a lot of work! But it was my first homemade cheesecake, so maybe they are all like this. It turned out very good. The crust, however, was very overcooked. Next time I am going to skip the first part of baking the crust, or cut the time in half, because the crust in the end was a dark brown and dry. The cheesecake baked well though, and had a very light taste and texture. Very good, but again, a lot of work.

This cheesecake is very good. I had the same trouble with the top getting a bit too brown. I also found the crust a bit hard to handle. My cheesecake didn't cook through 100% but I feel that might be the fault of my oven. Overall, very tasty (though one can't eat too much at once!)

This cheesecake is delicious. I only gave it 4 stars because 500 degrees for 15 minutes made the top of the cheesecake very brown, almost burnt. I had to cover the top with foil. Next time I'll try it at 400 degrees. Also I didn't bother with the pastry trimmings as stated in step 5, I used almost all of it in step one.This makes it much easier.

This is the best cheesecake, it is the same as the famous "Lindy's" cheesecake from New York City.
