Top-notch recipe. I took it to a friend's house for New Year's Day dinner, and it was a hit--smooth, creamy, and delicious! I topped it with cherry pie filling (which covered the crack nicely), and decorated it with fresh holly. It looked as good as it tasted! I don't know why it cracked, because I followed the recipe exactly and put a pan of water in the oven, but I don't really care. The taste is the main thing, and that was wonderful.

Simply delicious! I followed the ingredients of the recipe exactly and was able to fill up 2 store-bought graham cracker crusts. I topped each one with different baking chips and toppings and they were a huge hit! The only changes I made were in the process, I added 1 egg at a time and beat for 2 minutes in between each addition, which I know adds more time but really makes a creamier finished product. I also stuck a pan of water in the oven below the baking cheesecakes, had no problems with cracking at all! My baking time was reduced to 45 minutes instead of an hour. Great basic cheesecake recipe to add to your book, can be dressed up in so many ways!
