Cheesecake Lovers!

I love cheesecake and no you have made my mouth water. I like them ready made, also the ones which you make up from out of the box. But the best which I have ever tasted was the one which my daughter made during her cookery lesson at school. Just as soon as I can I will ask her to find the recipe and make another one for the family. I will post the recipe on mylot for you, so keep checking.

There are a lot of really great recipes for cheesecakes that you can find online and believe me as long as you have the springform pan it is actually a lot easier than I thought it would be! I have made plain ones, turple ones and also orea ones and cherry!

The place you were talking about is The Cheesecase Factory I think. It is a regular restaraunt with really good food and they specialize in cheesecake for dessert. They are so good!

I just found this recipe on the good food magazine site, it's a raspberry one and sounds really easy and lovely I just need to find the right size tin to do it:

If and when I do it I'll let you know how easy it really is and how nice it is.

MMM I love cheesecake and I have recently always started to make my own at home.
Like someone else said, if you are making a full sized cheesecake you need a springform pan. But if you are making mini cheesecakes all your are going to need is a muffin tin and muffin tin liners (cupcake holders)
One of my favourite cheesecakes to make is Caramel Macchiato Cheesecake

I Have made it both in springform pan and in muffin cups (regular sized!)

I don't know if I like blueberry cheesecake cause I never had it. I had strawberry, plain, chocolate swirl, cherry and caramel macchiato.

They are all good. It truly isn't hard to make. Good luck!

cheesecake is most likely my all time favorite dessert. i love all kinds and had some last night at olive garden. it was raspberry cheesecake drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with a vanilla cream that was to die for. do not even want to know the calorie count in that. i love pumpkin cheesecake too. it is delicious. i did i forget to mention that the cheesecake i had last night also had a layer of dark chocolate on the bottom? it was so good. tgi fridays has a vanilla cheesecake that is out of this world. my mouth is watering right now!

Hello,

I am a huge cheesecake lover myself and have made mini ones and a pumpkin one . That was a mix of the cream cheese and a pumpking type pudding.There is this company called philadelphia and they have the mix already made up and all you have to do is pour the mix into a cracker crust ( you can find at most shopping stores)

My favorite kind of cheesecake is New York style because I like the thicker kind . There is this place called tgif's that I used to eat at and they had this wonderful vanilla bean cheesecake . It was so rich and sweet . When I was in New York city they sale it everywhere .

I have one I want to share with you:
A simple New York Style one for cook.com

2 1/2 lb. cream cheese
1/2 lb. sugar
1/2 lb. sour cream
1/2 oz. vanilla
1/2 oz. lemon juice
5 eggs
20 graham crackers, crushed
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 stick butter

Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar and butter.
Mix well softened cheese and 1/2 pound sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, then eggs, then flavorings until mixture is very liquid and thoroughly mixed.

Preheat oven to 350
Coat a 10 inch spring-form pan well with butter. Line base with graham cracker crumb mixture. Pour batter evenly over base until just under lid of the pan. Leave enough room for the mix to rise without flowing over.

Bake the cake in a pan of water (place the spring-form pan in a roasting pan with about 1/2 inch of water - do not let the pan run out of water during the baking process) at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. The cake will rise. Watch for cracking at the top and browning.

Here is one of my favorite when I go out to eat and I actually wanna try this someday.
