Questions & Replies

  1. I see some people remove frosting from middle of Oreos. Is this necessary?

  1. I just made this for a 16th birthday party. It was a huge hit. I was told that this was the best cheesecake that they've ever had. Thanks so much for posting this.
     
  2. I have made this cake three times now and everytime I have made it I have only heard how awesome it is. Everyone always says how they have never tasted a cheesecake as good as this one. I made it last year for my landlord as a thank you/birthday present and he wouldn't shut up on how good it was to EVERYONE he knew. His sister came in to town the other day and when I ran into her, she stopped me to ask if I was the one who made the amazing cheesecake he wouldn't shut up about. Then she proceeded to ask me to make it again for his birthday since it was the big 4-0. Thank you for the lovely recipe and I will never give this recipe away to anyone. This has become my signature cake. :-D
     
  3. This cheesecake looks absolutely beautiful! I made it for my husband to take into work to celebrate his college graduation. He already called me and ranted about how tasty it was! The only changes I made were to add more butter to the crust because the two tablespoons wasn't enough for it to stick together. I ended up using about five tablespoons...perhaps I used too many cookie crumbs. Also instead of using Oreos inside the cheesecake I used the peppermint Joe Joe's from Trader Joes to make it a little more festive since it is the holiday time. I did use regular Oreos for the crust though. Another difference was instead of decorating the cheesecake with the Oreos, I dipped the remaining Oreos (or Joe Joes in my case) half in dipping chocolate and sprinkled mini m&m's on top. Then I set these around the cheesecake on the platter. Otherwise I followed the directions exactly. The end result was stunning! I only wish I could have tasted it. I will definitely make it again. Thank you, Juenessa!
     
  4. DH says this is good and his family ate it up but he commented he didn't like the cookie part inside so much but maybe that was because he was eating it at the wrong temperature, or simply he doesn't like oreo cookies much? It also cracked when cooling but I was able to cover that with a knife and the soft chocolate glaze. I had no problem with the glaze being uncuttable after the stated time sitting out of the refrigerator like another reviewer. But like another reviewer I also had to use more (sweet/unsalted) butter in the crust. I used alcohol free vanilla from the health food store, plus the rest of the ingredients. I will make a different cheesecake next time since I didn't hear raves.
     
  5. The cheesecake is delicious! But, had a problem cutting through the chocolate topping for it was very hard even after setting the cheesecake out for 30 minutes - the glaze still cracked! Thought about using the chocolate glaze just to drizzle atop next time, but it wouldn't have the same appeal. Any suggestions?
