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 messed with this a bit and it turned out great!! First I used one reduced fat cream chz, and one regular, one cup of sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla, and then...... are you ready?? ...... 7 tablspns of POWERED Peanut butter.!! one it helped with the moisture, and two the powdered in 85% reduced fat!

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.

This cheesecake is great. Very easy to make, almost fool proof. I do spice it up just a bit by putting in a couple pinches of cinnamon in my crust and a shake of cinnamon in the mix.I have not had anyone turn this cheesecake away. To keep from being to dry I place a cookie sheet in the oven with some water in it. This is the perfect cheesecake if you like a sweet cheesecake; as my family does.

loved this recipe. It is so easy to make. It is the first recipe that doesn't run on me and it taste so go. The only thing I don't do in the recipe is let it sit in the oven for 3 hours. I let it sit for one hour and with the oven cracked a little, it doesn't seem to dry out so bad. But I love this recipe. Give it a try.

I made this cheesecake yesterday. Some people liked a lot and some did not because it was too sweet. I loved it and so did my husband. I guess it depends if you like really sweet cheesecake or not. If you like it sweet this is your type of cheesecake. The only thing that I changed which made it perfect was that I bought the pie crust because I did not have time to do it myself. In addition, it was very easy to make. Next time I would probably use less sugar and add a little bit of vanilla extract.

I loved the recipe I followed it to the T. Everybody ate it at Thanksgiving they were even fighting for seconds.

After waiting over 3 hours in total I was absolutely disappointed with this cheesecake. I followed everything to a "T". It tasted more like candied cream cheese than a new york style cheesecake. Way too sweet for my taste and what a waste of cream cheese...which is not that cheap.

Disappointed!! Way too sweet. Cut down to 1 cup of sugar and add flour. maybe 1/2 of vanilla. I really wanted to try this recipe and I followed it to the tee. Very disappointed
