  1. I've made this twice now and it has been excellent both times! The first time, I made it as directed and it came out really creamy, and did not hold its shape while on the plate. The second time, I made the following adjustments: I used vanilla bean paste for the extract, added 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg and I cooked it in the water bath at 300 degrees for 1 hour and at 200 degrees for 1/2 hour. Turned the oven off, opened the oven door and let the cheesecake stay in there for another 1/2 hour. Came out much better the second time around! Great recipe, will be using again and again!
     
  2. What size of pan do u use?
     
  3. This was AWESOME!! I am following a low carb diabetic diet, and this hit the spot. next time I may add a little more splenda. I added extra cinnamon and used pumpkin pie spice. I used a 9 inch spring form pan, and let the cake cool in the oven 1 hour then on the counter 1 hour. I served it after it was chilled for 6 hours. I will make this again and again!!
     
  4. I made this for Thanksgiving and to say it was a huge hit would be an understatement. Having been recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic I had to create a healthier holiday menu. My 10 year old loved it and had 2 pieces. I also altered the baking times cooking it at 300 for an hour and at 200 for an additional hour. I left it in the oven with the door cracked for approximately 3 hours and it was cooked perfectly. No cracks and held its shape when served.
     
  5. This was my first try at baking a cheesecake, and it turned out wonderfully! I used a springform pan and added a bit more of each spice and about 2TBS of brown sugar splenda mix. It looked as good as it tasted and was a delicious treat for our low carb Thanksgiving. Thanks for posting the recipe!
