“I first made this cheesecake for dinner guests about two years ago. I haven't stopped getting requests for it since. Though it's made with extremely rich ingredients, the cake turns out wonderfully light. I never liked cheesecake much before I tried this recipe - but boy, have I been reformed! It's quite easy to make too!” - by HONEYCAKE

See moreother hour to cool slowly, then put in the fridge for at least 6 hours to cool all the way before you even take the pan off or try to cut it. if the center is warm at all it will apear under done and be runny. Also your ingrediants MUST be room temp. that is very important. and if you lay a piece of tin foil loosly on the top of the pan it will avoid over cooking the top of the cake."

"Excellant! Made it twice, at first with no changes, good taste but too fluffy. The second time I cooked it until done, about 40 minutes longer than called for, and at 325. That time it also tasted gre..." See moreat and had the dense, heavy texture I love. Very easy to adjust the cooking time/temp for the texture you want, if you are even slightly experienced with cheesecakes. The taste is wonderful, not too sweet, and pairs well with many toppings. One thing though, if you want the "fluffy" texture, don't top it until right before serving, or it will fall!"
