I would rate this recipe a 5 for the flavor. The cooking method, I believe, resulted in the cheesecake having 2 huge cracks on the top of the cake. A better method is to bake it in a water bath. Find another cheesecake recipe that uses this baking method and apply it to this recipe. Since I did not do that, after the cheesecake had cooled, I spread 1/2 of a can of prepared fudge frosting on the top of the cheesecake. No one knew that the cheesecake had huge cracks. I would make this recipe again but I would apply a water bath baking method to it.
