The first time I made this cake i really didn't enjoy it. But I gave it another go with just a little tweeking. I used a brand of baby food that had a lower water content... since i felt that the first time i made it my crust was far too gooey. This time around the consistency was much better. Also I did cook it in a water bath this time. Which i think is really important when making cheese cake. Also i reduced the cook time by 15min. I allowed the cake to cool for 1hr before putting in the fridge over night. We did enjoy this recipe the second time around. Will make again.
