This recipe turned out perfectly! I altered cooking time because I used a special pan that made it into individual squares. It still turned out smooth, creamy and delicious!

This cheesecake was very good. I made it in a 8inch round spring form pan and I had to cook it a long time in order for it to be done--that is the only thing that I didn't like about the recipe!
