    HELLLLPPPPPPP!!!! Everyone keeps saying the same thing and no one is listening. The bottom crust is ROCK HARD!!!!!! And the chocolate bottom layer is pretty hard too. This has the potential to be a great cheesecake, but someone needs to fix the ingredient ratios. Also the cheesecake layer bakes for well over an hour (we lost track we had to reset the timer so many times, but probably at least 1/2 hour more than the recipe calls for otherwise it is raw in the middle. Clearly staff did not retest this recipe before it was made on the show.

    I just baked it for a friend's birthday. She loved it. The crust was extremely too hard; it baked a total of three times if you followed the recipe. That was the only negative about the cake. I would omit baking the crust initially. It was absolutley a chocolate explosion so much that I used chocolate chips instead of the bars for the ganache. I thought the brownie part came across a little less sweet/bitter so the chocolate chips added a sweeter chocolate taste. Over all, it was great! A bit to many steps for me but for a special occasion, this would be great! Great cheesecake for chocolate lovers and when you are trying to show off!!

    This was good. But the crust was extremely hard. My husband said we needs chainsaw to cut through the crust. I would like to know what did I do wrong? I wonder if the Carmel sauce did it?

    Absolutley delicious!! But someone please HELP! I made a "tester" thank goodness because i would like to make this and bring it to thanksgiving dinner.....Everything really came out great EXCEPT the crust/bottom. It was SO HARD. I could barely get a knife through it. I did need to cook this about 35 mins longer at 325 thanks to the previous reviews. But i really do need to know what the heck i can do to make the crust softer.What made it so hard? The caramel? Chocolate??

    This cheesecake was absolutely amazing! We used a little creative license and added additional ingredients and one of the best I have ever had.

    the cheesecake was very good but the crust was hard, we about broke the knife trying to cut it! Our cake & Paula Dean's cake does not look anything alike. i am somewhat disappointed. But the cheesecake part was good!

    after reading all the reviews, i finally made this cake yesterday. all I can say is - AWESOME!!
    i baked all at 350. crust for only 2 mins, chocolate layer for 15 mins, and cheese cake layer for 60 mins. followed recipe for ganache, and refrigerated over night.
    Perfect! took pics to send to everyone. dinner date tonight. will be serving this cake. my neighbor and i cut into it this morning. didn't crack, and silky smooth. try cutting cake with a hot knife. i ran hot water over my knife until it was good and hot - no cracked top!
    Thank you Paula!
