I had never made a cheesecake before, but a friend at work did a favor for me and I offered to bake them something delicious. I picked this recipe because it looked easy, and it was. Not to mention -amazing-. I don't even like cheesecake and I will eat this one! Its really simple to make and both times I've made it, it has come out with the perfect texture. I added photos of my most recent use- mini cheesecakes for a potluck at work. There are none left.

I too would like to thank you for posting this recipe. It was thirty years ago when I found and tried this recipe through McCall's Cooking School. As you state, the extra effort to make this is well worth it. I remember liking the crust quite a bit. I would like to try and double the recipe for the crust hoping the cake will still bake well. Would appreciate any opinions you might have about doing this. Thank you. Tom D.
