I will never use this recipe again! Its nothing like New York cheesecake! It is way too sweet. Recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, I would suggest using only 1, if not less. I followed directions precisely, and it looked perfect after the 90 minute baking was done. But while it sat in the oven after baking, it collapsed. It doesn't even taste like cheesecake. Wish I could give it a negative 5 rating!

I think I have the solution to all the complaints about sweetness and dryness. I read everyone's comments before I did my own recipe. I had never heard of flour in cheesecake, but I had heard of sour cream. I eliminated 1/2 cup sugar and added a scant 1/3 cup sour cream. Also, instead of letting it dry out for 3 hours in a dormant oven. I upped the temperature to 325 and let it bake for 30 minutes more, then let it set for an hour in a dormant oven. Worked fine and got a brown top.
