I MADE THIS WITH NO ERROR NO FOUL IT CAME OUT GREAT! IF U WATCHED THE SHOW AND WENT BY THE DIRECTIONS STEP BY STEP IT WOULD BE MORE EASIER 4 THOSE WHO MESSED UP THEIR TOPPING. I FOUND EVERYTHING TASTE BETTER IF U USE THE NAME BRAND PRODUCTS AND NOT THE OFF BRANDS IT MAKES IT BETTER.

great recipe, followed it and it came out perfect. My sister made it first, but i did tweak some, lil more vanilla because i love vanilla. This recipe has been added to the collection. AWESOME. I made sure i used the pans that she stated and when i added the topping, i contantly stirred like directed and by the time starch and sugar dissolved it appeared thick to me. i let it cool slightly and added to cooled cheescake. no problems

The cheesecake itself was really good. However, something went terrible wrong with the topping. I followed the directions but it hardened so much that we could not cut it. We pulled it off of the cheesecake and put it in a bowl hoping that we could heat it separately and drizzle over the cheesecake but to no avail. It hardened so much that is was unusable at all. Make the cake but skip the topping.

I usually love Paula's recipes, but I was very disappointed with this one. The instructions for the praline topping is not very helpful. The cheesecake itself was delicious. I did mine in the water bath, which she should have added to the instructions. I did the praline topping but was unsure what exactly classifies as "thick" to her. I wish she would have put an approximate time frame or put what temperature it is supposed to reach. I cooked it until we thought it was "thick." It hardened very quickly, and the praline topping was so hard that we could not even cut the cake, much less eat it. We even beat it with the knife and it still would not crack. I had to turn the cheesecake upside down just so we could cut the cheesecake. I never usually have problems like this when baking, so I was obviously disappointed. I wouldn't make this one again.

The recipe was easy to follow but for some reason my crust turned out a little soft. Does anyone have any ideas why?? Other than that the cheesecake and filling was good.

This was my first "real" cheesecake ever. I saw Paula Deen's show, and knew this was the ONE! I just made it, and followed the instructions exactly, except that I should've let it cool a little longer before I cut into it. Nevertheless, it was magnificent! I highly recommend this recipe. It is simple, yet decadent.

I just utilized the filling and the crust recipe mainly. Blueberries are in season now, and I had them available, so that is what I used for my topping. It is really good. I will use this recipe again, but I don't feel the need for so many graham crackers. I used one package (of the 3 in the box of grahams and only 3 tablespoons of melted butter and a small amount of sugar. I just lined the bottom of my springform pan and not the sides. The crust tends to be soft anyway, and I don't really care for the texture of too much crust on my cheesecake. And this recipe doesn't call for a water bath, but Paula did use one on the episode. She lined the pan with foil so the water wouldn't seep in and filled it 1/2 way up in a large roasting pan. This would definitily minimize cracking, although mine did have one with the water bath. No big deal. Still is very delicious.
