i know but here's the thing, i won't mess with leftovers that are past 2 days. a 10 inch cheesecake, just too much for ol' clams.

it's really not too difficult, you'll have no problem having it perfected quickly... a springform pan is a must, i also bake it in a water bath.

So far I have just used pre-made crusts, knowing that it isn't the best, but wanting to cut time while I experiment a bit. Going to buy a springform pan and will try the water. What do you use for your crust? Also, thoughts on ricotta in place of cream cheese?

i hate ricotta, so i'd prob rather just eat razor blades rather than use it.

crust is super easy- my favorite is to take oreos and mash them up and mix in a couple tablespoons of butter then mash it down into the bottom and corners/sides of the pan. so great.

you can sub about anything for the oreo and it will work the same- graham crackers, chips ahoy, etc

cant emphasize how important the springform pan is though.

Yup need the springform. You might like savory cheese cake

You have to make sure and get enough butter in it though so it stays somewhat moist. That is the best. Flavored Teddy Grahams are also quite nice for a change of pace in your crust. You can also put some chocolate chips in the food processor and incorporate them into the crust as well. Not a lot, just a few for flavor.

Pretty amazing. Had two pieces for breakfast. Now I'm going to focus on the ganache topping.

used to always get turtle cheesecake from the schwann's man growing up. was the greatest thing ever.

The Schwann's man was awesome as a kid. He would come around and I knew that little mini pizzas were going to be in my freezer to chow down on. Glorious.

i would eat the frozen cookie dough raw. i don't think i ever once actually baked any of them.

I'm sure this has been discussed because its amazing. But everyone needs to go buy a "gotta have it" size Cherry Cheeseshake from Coldstone.

One time I ate so much cookie dough and then (obviously) washed it down with a ton of milk. The cookie dough started expanding with the milk and I seriously though my stomach was going to explode. I had to lay down for an hour or so. It was excruciating pain. Still worth it.

Confession: I've never had cheesecake.

I think the name has to do with it.

It's pretty amazing. Had some for breakfast.

Very rich though. Some people don't like it because of that, which I cannot understand.
