Hello there! Is it possible to use a ready made 9″ graham crust? Still the same baking time? Thanks a lot!

I tried this cheesecake recipe and it’s awesome! I topped it with white and dark chocolate shavings.

May I know if we can bake cheesecakes on a pan w/o the removable bottom? If so, how are we going to be able to take it out of the pan? Have you ever tried it before? I’m asking these questions because I’d like to try baking cheesecake on different shapes of pans. Thanks.

hi lori.
great blog.
i also love cheesecake, especially baked one. i don’t have spring form pans, i just line my regular baking pan w/ aluminum foil. after chilling i can pull the cake up w/ the foil.
i not using Philadelphia cream cheese, to pricey for me. i use austratilian and its less expensive.
i dont use electric mixer when i make one, a wooden spoon would work for me nicely. i make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before i smooth it on a bowl. i also cut them into smaller cubes, its alot easier to mix when i do this. =) well, that’s just me. those might work for you also. happy baking =)

Hi lori! I’m a novice when it comes to baking but i would definutely want to try baking your recipe!:) but i have a few questions i’d like to clarify. Is ut necessary to make use of a water batj when baking this cake? You see i’ve just recently began baking cupcakes and the most recent one was a cheesecake cupcake. Through reading several books, some people advise water bathing since it reduces cracks?:) do you do that?

Also i’m also confused with the baking temperature?;)

once the cake is baked, i have to leave it for almost an hour in the oven with its door closed right? Afterwhich how long before i can place it in the refrigerator?

Lastly, when is the best time to remove the cake from the pan? Please reply to my email and thank you so so much lori!:) i love your blogs!:)

It was my first time to bake a cheesecake and I used this recipe. But since I wasn’t confident with my baking skills I divided it into 2 pans. I kept checking every 5 minutes because I learned from another website that overbaking will cause cracks. I kept taking them out so I could shake the pans because it’s supposed to be a bit wobbly in the center when done. My cheesecakes were ready in just 30 minutes. And I couldn’t believe it but they were perfect and yummy! I’ll be baking another batch next week =) Thank you very much for this recipe =)

Alma - I wouldn't advise substituting one for the other. They're quite different structurally speaking, plus sour cream is tangy. I transfer my cheesecake with a huge metal cake spatula. If you're based in the Philippines, you can get this in Gourdo's and Rustan's Department Store. For cake boxes, Scala is the best. --lori

I have been baking cheesecakes using a recipe book from the US. It uses sour cream instead of condensed milk. Is there going to be a taste difference if I use condensed milk? There have been orders already for my cheesecakes. My problem is how to transfer the cheesecake from the springform pan to the cake board without damaging the cake appearance. Do you have source of cake boxes I can buy from? Thanks for sharing your great recipe.

I love the sweet and creamy taste of cheesecakes. I will have to make some of these sweet things using your procedures. – Pinoy Pride
