This was my first cheesecake, and I was surprised at how easy it was. After all the sweets of Christmas, I wasn't as excited about this subtle yet elegant dessert, but boy did I get rave reviews from others. DH bragged about it, and our hosts, who were both self-proclaimed cheesecake fanatics, gave it high praise. "It's a combination of my two favorite desserts; pecan pie and cheesecake." And that wasn't even with the sauce served warm! Thanks for making me look good once again, 'zaar. Thanks, MizzNezz, too!

Sorry, no one at our party was impressed with this one. Dont' know if maybe it was the baker, but I have made good cheesecakes before, so I am not sure what the problem was.

This was excellent, and easy to make. I'll do this one again. Since I'm allergic to chocolate, I'm on the lookout for good desserts with no chocolate, and this one was great!

This was my first-ever baked cheesecake and it's a hit with the family. Baked perfectly without any hitch. It's the first time I've had the taste of caramel in cheesecake too. Thanks MizzNezz.
