Questions & Replies

  1. I took the cheesecake bars out of the oven as recipe states, but am wondering if the center will really firm up while cooling.

  1. I used this recipe to make a copy cat of the Cheesecake Factory's White chocolate raspberry cheesecake... Instead of graham crackers I used 20 oreos (filling removed) the first time. This time around I wanted to try a thicker crust so I crushed 30. White chocolate chips on top of the crust then layered thinned, seedless rasp. preserves with this wonderful batter!! This is definitely my go to cheesecake recipe!! Just right!!!
     
  2. I made these for my mom for Mother's Day & we LOVED them! The other reviews were right, they aren't overly sweet. They're just right. It comes out rich & creamy, super easy to make! The recipe makes a really thin crust in a 13x9 so doubling the crust wouldn't hurt. We didn't use any toppings, it's perfect alone. Thanks!
     
  3. This does not look like it is cooked at all after 40 mins at 300 not sure why but I put it back in. Did anyone else have this problem?
     
  4. Thanks, V, for an excellent and easy recipe. I made this for a "finger food" party, and it went over very well. I cut it in about 1 1/2" squares. The teenagers in the bunch wanted the leftovers.
     
  5. I had a big tub of cream cheese I had to use up so I made these ... but I halved the recipe because I didn't know how quickly they'd be eaten ... should've made the whole recipe!!!!! Thanks!!!
