I've made this recipe soooo many times. I even had a friend ask me to make it as her wedding cake. It is super simple and if you are careful, you can create a perfect cheesecake that doesnt crack. My tips for that include mixing on the lowest speed possible the entire time, beating the eggs slightly before adding and mixing them in very slowly at the end. I usually make the crust a bit thicker and I bake it until the center of the cheesecake doesn't ripple when you bump the stove a bit. This takes a bit longer, usually closer to 2 hours for the final baking time. Also, let it cool completely in the oven before taking it out to chill completely. I've used these tips every time and my cheesecakes turn out perfect almost every time. The only times they haven't were when I was being impatient.
