I love this recipe. Based on reviews, I increased my cooking temp to 350 and I used a store brought crust (fills two graham cracker pie shells). I kept the filling and the topping the same. It came out amazing. This is my favorite dessert. So simple and absolutely delicious.

Here's a photo of my version of this terrific recipe.

this was AMAZING! it was my first time baking anything and I was 100% sure it wouldn't taste like a cheesecake at all. BUT IT DID! and so easy to make too. I refrigerated it overnight and it had set perfectly! the crust was a bit heavy but It was most likely me making it too thick!

Very good!

I have never made cheesecake before and just followed the recipe exactly - it turned out absolutely perfect! It's beautiful and YUMMMMMMMM! I agree the person that had a problem with consistency must have not chilled it overnight

Excellent cheesecake recipe. Be careful with the center though because it sometimes does not set right with all of the melted chocolate in the mixture.

Ok - so I made this last night and served it to my dear hubby tonight and it was a big success! I also think it came out great, but I made some changes and wanted to add that to the reviews. First off, I didn't use graham crackers for the crust. Instead I used shortbread cookies and omitted all of the other crust ingredients except the butter. I loved this! For the actual cheesecake I followed the directions as stated on the recipe except I reduced the amount of white chocolate I added as hubby and I aren't huge fans of white chocolate. I bought a big bag of Nestle White Chocolate Chips as there was no other white chocolate available in the grocery store. The bag was 1lb and 8 oz I believe. I used maybe half of the bag. As for baking the cheesecake, I did 30 mins at 275 and then turned it up to 300 for the remaining 30 mins. After an hour I turned off the oven and kept the door closed for 30 mins. Then I opened the door partially for the next 30 mins. Following this cool down I put it on the counter and soon after was able to put it in the fridge overnight. I think the recipe was great with these few changes and I will probably make this again when we have an event to go to or something as 2 people really can't eat a whole cheesecake! Oh...I also didn't have a sieve to run the topping through but it was perfect the way it was.

I made it just as shown, and, well to some it up, here's a message my friend sent me in regards to a slice of this cheesecake i gave him: "your cheesecake was.... DIVINE!!!! OH MY GOSH THAT WAS SOOOO GOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DEMAND A FULL C-Cake for my birthday! lol" . I dont think you can get a better reaction than that ;)

This is the first baked cheesecake I've ever made. Followed recipe exactly as written. Came out perfectly...without any cracks. So easy and absolutely sinful!

This cheesecake is absolutely AMAZING! I just had the first piece and it was delectable. I just used a pre-made crust and Ghirardelli white chocolate chips and it turned out great! I was actually able to make two cheesecakes out of this recipe because of, I think, using the pre-made graham cracker crust. Great recipe!!
