This is everything a cheesecake should be! My first wasn't nearly done enough so I cook it twice as long as it states. It tastes its best after sitting in the fridge a day, so you may want to plan ahead. I use a simple cracker crust recipe instead and I've now become the "cheesecake woman" in the family. My brother in law didn't previously like cheesecake until I made this one. My Mom said its better than Eli's or Cheesecake factory. It is dense you can easily serve 12 using one cake. I make a strawberry puree and whipped cream on top. WOW.

The cheesecake itself was absolutely wonderful, but the crust wasn't good at all. I read in someone else's review that it was like a sugar cookie, but it isn't! It lacked sugar to make it sweet. I think a graham cracker crust is best after all. When I make this again, I will be adding vanilla to the cheesecake since I like my dessert real sweet. UPDATE: I made it with a graham cracker crust, and I added a tsp. vanilla while blending longer than I did last time. I raised the temp. from 200 degrees to 225 degrees for 1 hour and 10 min. The cheesecake was AMAZING! I cannot wait to experiment with different toppings!

I have been cooking with recipes from this site for many years, and never posted a review. That having been said...this is the best homemade cheesecake I have ever had! I can't get enough of it. Thank you so much for sharing this one!

I used the filling in a graham cracker crust and my family loved it. I had problem with lumps, but it was my fault. Good recipe!

This was so good - I could've passed it off easily for a cheesecake I'd have bought in a hoity-toity bakery. It's a keeper!

Very, very good cheesecake. But I need to figure out how to prevent splitting. Also, the volume of batter created in this recipe does not fit into a standard cheescake pan. I had to make a few mini cheesecakes in addition to the big one in order to use it all up.

This was pretty good. I think because I made some modifications it didn't taste as good as it would have. Instead of 2 1/2 pounds of cream cheese I used a lot less so it wasn't as cream cheesy as people would like, although I'm not a huge cheesecake fan. I think next time I make it I make it with all of the cream cheese. It still served about 15-16 people.

OUTSTANDING!!!! My family raved over this cheesecake. It was not difficlut to make..time consuming, but worth it. I would like to try the ganache topping. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Maybe I will make it for my sons birthday on 02/28.

YUM!!! This is by far my favorite cheesecake recipe! The only thing I changed was to use a graham cracker/pecan crust. Next time I will try setting the oven temp to 225 degrees as I felt it could have been a little more firm in the center. I served this with a whipped cream cheese frosting and some homemade strawberry topping for those who wanted it. Next time I will try raspberries or blueberries for the topping, depending on my mood, though it's wonderful plain!

This recipe was amazing! I love the fact that it strayed from the normal graham cracker crust. I made the shortdough like a cookie, creaming the butter and sugar, adding the egg and then the flour. I did have to mix it for a little bit before it all came together like a cookie. I was a bit disappointed in the cooking time. I swore the other people who had problems must have been using a smaller pan, but in my 10", I had to cook it for an additional 1 1/2 hours at 250 degrees to get it to set. I did make only additions to the recipe, no changes. On the shortbread bottom, I layered a package of raspberries and drizzled white chocolate, put about 2/3 of the filling and then did another package of raspberries and more melted white chocolate. I put the last 1/3 of the batter and then dotted the top with raspberry jam that I put through a tiny strainer to get the seeds out. I swirled that with more white chocolate. It was to die for!!!! My husband says he has a new favorite dessert and couldn't stop smiling!!! I didn't think it was too eggy like others said and I thought the amount of crust on bottom was perfect. I hope someone will like the variation as much as we did! Happy Valentine's Day!

The recipe is fantastic. Just a note, though: don't use omega-3 fortified eggs. Normally I can make cookies, etc with them and not notice the strange flavor, but there are so many eggs in this recipe that I could taste a fishy flavor. Other than that, the texture is awesome!

Excellent cheesecake!!!! The only things I changed were to add a splash of vanilla and I used a graham cracker crust. The center was a little underdone, but I blame my oven. I made a strawberry topping and no one noticed it was underdone. Will definitely try again, I may need to cook on a lower temp for longer.

This recipe rocks and it kills everytime I make it. If you add cocoa to the shortdough its still good and it is a nice color contrast.

Perfect Cheesecake! Absolutely rich and glorious. Just what I was hoping for. I love my graham cracker crust, but decided to see how the other half lives. It wasn't too bad, but a teaspoon of almond extract and a quarter cup of chopped walnuts added to the crust really put it over the top in my humble opinion. Tasted like a scottish shortbread cookie that way. And then topped with Chocolate Ganache Icing... Sure was nice to be a compared to a gourmet chef that day. Requests on bended knee for this to be made again have already begun. Thanks!!
