This is an awesome easy recipe. It tastes a lot like the olive garden and cheesecake factory cheesecakes. I didn't make the crust, since I was lazy, and I regret that mistake. I'm making the crust this time around. The hardest part for me was to get the seeds out of the preserves since I wanted a smooth cheescake. This time around I'm using a raspberry sauce that's a lot smoother.

I needed something really fancy to take to a luncheon. This was perfect. I used a springform pan so the cheesecake would have a more classic look. I baked the cheesecake in a waterbath because I have had past problems with the top of cheesecakes cracking. Mine turned out beautifully. It had a smooth texture, creamy, rich flavor, lovely swirl and the oreo crust was excellent. It was a big hit at the luncheon, too. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I really enjoyed this recipe, it was easy and the texture of the cheesecake was perfect. The white chocolate flavor got lost under the raspberry and oreo flavors though. Next time I might sub more chocolate and use a subtler graham crust. Thanks!

I'm not sure what happened, but the swirils dind't turn out, and it was not fully cooked (tooth pick came out dirty) in the time written, so I cooked it until it did come out clean, but then the crust was a little burnt. I'll try this again using the right amount of cooking time, and see what happends.

My swirls didn't turn out so great but this cheesecake tasted awesome nonetheless! I made it the first time for company but had to make it again for myself.
