I don't think I can give this an accurate rating. I decided to make this for a baby shower. I began making it the day before, but our oven kind of died while I was cooking the first of the two cheesecakes (the first was just a plain one, not this recipe). I couldn't put this one in our oven, so I took it to my grandma's house, who lives two blocks away. I finished making it, and I told her how long she had to cook it for and how hot because I had to go to a softball game. Well, she didn't hear the timer when it went off, so it got minorly singed around the edges and overcooked in the middle. Thus, the conclusion to my long tale... I don't really know if it was the BEST cheesecake in the world because it got overcooked. It sure did look pretty though. Thanks for posting.

This was the first cheesecake I have ever made. I did use a water bath but, it still cracked. If I had to guess, I didn't let it cool enough before putting it in the fridge. My boyfriend loves cheesecake and he said that it was the best he had ever had. I did add cinnamon and nutmeg to the crust and it was perfect. I have alwasy heard horror stories about making cheesecakes. This is a very easy recipe to follow. I will be making this again soon!! Thanks Marie!!!
