I love this recipe!Easy to make and sooooooo delicious!This will be my second time making this cake in a 4-week period.Do i have to say more?
1/6/2010 04:49:46 PM Report AbuseThis was really a hit! My husband said it was the best cheesecake I've ever made. I did bake in water(wrapped foil around bottom first), hoping to cut down on cracking, and it seemed to help...only a couple cracks but probably could have cut down a bit on bake time with the water. I'll surely be making this one again.
