I could not find chocolate wafers so I decided to use graham crackers, turned out so creamy and the crust was amazing!

OMG!!! This was my first attempt to make a cheesecake and it was AWSOME!!!! I followed the receipe except I used graham crackers for the crust because its all I had in the house.....As per instructions from a baker I know - I put the cream cheese out for about 2 hours so it was room temperture (If you take a rolling pin and flatten the cream cheese it will get to room temp faster-this works great to get butter to room temp too for those who make homemade cookies...I was also instructed by my friend to get eggs to room temp also-(I put them in a bowl of warm water which I changed a few times...I have a new convection bake oven which I baked it in. I was worried as it was baking because 3/4 way into baking the top got somewhat brown and it was cracked alot.....The worry was for nothing, lol, it tasted soooooo Good.....I left it in the fridge for about 4 hours then put in the freezer for about 40 minutes before I tasted.. Try this receipe, you will not be sorry:

I added a little bit of vinegar to the red velvet batter to accent that red color, baked it in a water bath and my family loved it! It is so rich and creamy, and full of flavor. For sure, this is going to be at the dessert table this holiday :

It was relatively easy for me and I don't bake. : My daughters and I did this recipe the night before Thanksgiving and it was a huge success! I couldn't find the chocolate wafers and used the Vanilla wafers instead. Will definitely make this again....

My oldest son loves Red Velvet Cakes and cheesecakes. I made this for his birthday./Thanksgiving.. Everyone loved it! The recipe was easy to follow. I couldn't find chocolate wafers but used Oreo cookies instead, split them in half and scraped off the cream filling, perfect. It looked very pretty when cut. I'll be making another one in the next few days to take to co-workers.

I used the water bath for mine, like suggested below by another person. Also, since I couldn't fine either the wafer cookies or the chocolate graham crackers I substituted the chocolate plain animal cookies. Worked like a charm!

To avoid cracks in cheesecake bake in a hot water bath, also the chocolate cookie wafers are not the ones that come in strawberry, choc. etc. with cream in between but plain chocolate wafers. You can substitute chocolate graham crackers which is a recently new product from Honey Maid. Those are the changes I made and the cake came out great! I bake cheesecakes for a living and those are my suggestions!

WOW is this a great recipe. We often have cake failures regardless of ingredients or kitchen specific environment situations, but this one came out perfect twice in a row. That makes it a super winner in this abode. This freezes great! Its just the two of us so a whole cake or pie is a bit much so freezing is a must for us. Love the little trick of holding back part of the mix before going *velvet*. Makes such a beautiful presentation. Thanks for the recipe.
