This recipe was quick and easy and the finished product was delicious! I was looking for a cheesecake recipe that did not call for milk or cream as I was out of those but needed to make a dessert for a neighborhood "Sip N Stroll". This one worked great and the cheesecake was a hit. Thanks flfleaona, for a keeper recipe!!

First off, I had a devil of a time trying to leave a review. Several attempts at several locations, but I'm here and I really wanted to review this recipe. I made it to the recipe, except I added 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie seasoning, and used a water bath while baking. I did have to cook it for 1 hr and 20 minutes. It was done perfectly, and it was a hit with our Thanksgiving crowd. Cheesecakes aren't the easiest to get done right. As a rule, when it's just soft near the middle, it's done!

Made this for a family Christmas party. Everyone loved it. I didn't use the graham cracker crust I used Carla Halls easy pie crust recipe and it all turned out great
