This was the best cheesecake recipe I've ever tried. Made it for my boyfriends 30th b-day and it was a big hit :) This is the only cheesecake I've ever made that hasn't cracked. I baked it as directed but with a shallow pan of water in the oven, when done I turned the oven off and let it cool 2hrs with oven door cracked before moving it to fridge. I used a different topping than cherry pie filling. I drizzled the top with melted seedless black raspberry jam and chocolate and topped it with chocolate dipped strawberries and it was delicious and beautiful too!!! I posted a pic.Will definetely be making this again, thanks for a great cheesecake recipe!!!

We had this without topping because we actually perfer it like that. Dh was the only one out of four people that wasn't crazy about this. He said he liked his cheesecake creamier. I froze half the cheesecake so that I could try it at a later date. That date came today and it is delicious! Sometimes them hubbies don't know what they are talkin' about! Thank you Windy City Girl for a wonderful NY cheesecake!

<p>Hi! <br /><br />Orignally from Chicago, I now live in the sunny Phoenix with hubby, Tom, son, Justin and our dogs, Axel and Jhazmine and kitty, Muggles. <br /><br />I have a compulsion/obsession for cookbooks. My husband says we may have to build a wing onto the house...I have soooo many. I really do not have a favorite, although I do like the Taste of Home books because they contain recipes my family will actually eat. My passions are cooking great food for family and friends, music and traveling to warm, tropical places...oh and SHOPPING!</p>
