i'm giving it 5 stars for the glaze! so good! follow the video, it's more accurate. for me adding 7T of butter for the crust made it runny so i cut back. i also add 1/2 cup sour cream to my cheesecake mixture.

Try using ginger snaps for the crust .. it is an amazing counterpoint to the sweet creamy cheesecake and the incredible chocolate glaze .. and yes, the video calls 3 8oz of cream cheese. Follow the video and use 3 8z of cream cheese .. everything else is the same. Yum!~

Yes do watch the video! I used orange extract and vanilla to taste (not TOO much and the smell was amazing. Cooked it exactly 45 minutes---as it cools down the center firms up and this does not crack unless you over cook it. The best short cut is that I found Duncan Hines Chocolate glaze neat the cake mixes. You heat the plastic bottle in the microwave 30 seconds and shake it up. You then drizzle or swizzle it on top of the cooled cake. I then added a jar of drained marichino cherries then drizzled more chocolate. The finish was powered sugar sifted. The glaze firms up but is not a hard shell. I then put in in a cake carrier and into the fridge..I am telling you this was out of this world and soooo easy. I have made many cheesecakes and this is my favorite. Yes you can freeze it cherries and all but let it thaw before serving. this is just amazing and loved my short cut to Duncan Hines glaze. They also make caramel glaze.

Get a pen and a piece of paper and watch the video. Ignore the written recipe. I am a home chef. I have baked many cheesecakes. Cheese cake bake in the oven and becomes firm in the refrigerator. I do not like my cheesecake to be very sweet. But 1 cup of sugar mixed into 24 oz. of cream cheese may not be enough. I strongly suggest adding at least 1 cup or more of brown sugar according to your taste to the recipe. Two small packets of gelatin such as Kolatin brand gelatin added to the batter would improve this recipe significantly. If you don't Have a spring form pan this recipe can be divided into to cheesecakes and baked into 2 pie pans for 40-45 minutes.
