My husband is really picky about cheese cake he said it was alright meaning it is good and he'll eat it but it's not something he's head over heals for. I personally thought it was really good. The crust was awesome but instead of flour I used gram cracker crumbs. I greased the pan and some of it still sticks so next time I'll be more thorough with greasing it. I also froze it which made it awesome but next time I'll cut it before freezing it. Other than that it was good.

I followed the directions of some other reviews. and greased the pans and changed size.. etc

but once everything was done i didnt have any berries or mint leaves, which i thought i did.. turned out to be the best mistake ever. i had some of those caramel chips (like choco chips except caramel, and butterscotch chips too and then took chocolate chips and melted them in a saucepan (saucepan on bottom had water, one on top had choco chips i then added a little cream (milk works to though and a little bit of coffee powder... i so i put the caramel and butterscotch chips on top and drizzled my chocolate mix.. it tasted amazing.. im going to do it again for thanksgiving.

[they wont know what hit them, and who knew you could teach a 14 year old to do this kind of stuff?]

SO- I don't cook. Period. That is until the holidays where I don my apron and play Paula Deen. That being said, I'm still intimidated by the easiest of recipes and cheesecake and I don't have a great history. Usually I burn the crust, have a sunken-cake and it's never just- good.

NOW I can say I've sucessfully made something called cheesecake!

My variations from recipe:

The crust- First off, the recipe calls for using an UNgreased pan- but I used a baker's joy flour baking spray cause who wants to scrap pans? I used smaller, finer pieces of pecans for a less-chunky crust. I also added a few more tablespoons of the brown sugar- cause that's how I roll.

The filling- I used about an eighth of a cup more sugar than it called for- again, I've got a sweet tooth. I used all almond extract (instead of vanilla, and used a few drops more than the recipe called for. Also I spiced it up with a splash of Amaretto liquer as well since I really like that flavor.

I used a 9x11 pan instead of 9x13, so I cooked everything at 325 for longer. The crust took about 15-16 minutes, and the whole pan with filling took about 35-40 minutes to cook through. I had a light brown spotting on top when it was done since it did take longer than the recipe called for to cook.

I was a bit worried my crust would overcook due to the extra time, but it came out wonderful. The smaller nuts are more my speed and I love the flavor. I think next time I'll try putting almond pieces in the food processor and using them instead of the pecans since I'm using so much almond flavor in the cake. I'll also probably use less nuts next time as well.

I can now whip this up whenever company's coming over, for the holidays, for birthdays of cheesecake lovers! I haven't added fruit to mine either, but I will offer it with fruit and/or caramel sauce.


YUMMMMMM!

I have made this recipe now several times, most recently this weekend for a group. Instead of using berries and mint this time, I used carmel sauce. Adults and kids went absolutely crazy over it!

This recipe was easy to make and everyone loved it. I work with alot of international students and they usually think American desserts are too sweet. They loved this and one person even asked me to please make it for his mom when she visits from India!!!
