My first made real cheesecake. This is the Cheesecake that goes with the Raspberry Gran Marnier recipe. Just came out of the oven. Thx for your recipe. I hope it looks ok. Thx
1.10.13. Here is the first slice of this delicious cheesecake. I used strawberries in the sauce (only change)..but that was very delicious too! The cake is elegant & beautiful, & tastes so good, that I feel it is better than bakery!
1.11.13.This cake tastes better than bakery, & we love it (taste, texture, looks)..Sorry re: crack, but tapped top while baking, checking for firmness(my mistake).Also, used Strawberries, Gran Marnier & Rasp jelly(no seeds)..delish!
I baked this cheesecake last night, and it turned out so firm and high..love the solid and dense texture of this cake..the water bath is a great idea. The sauce is utterly delicious over top of every slice. Also, the crust is delicious and buttery. The only thing I did wrong was tapping on the top of the cake while it was baking....I was checking it for firmness, and it cracked, but next time, I will remember not to tap on the top, since it was turning out beautiful until I tapped the top of it (checking for firmness). Also, in my opinion, the cake tastes better than any restaurant cheesecake, or any bakery cheesecake. The sauce is delicious with the Gran Marnier liquour in it...I could not afford raspberries, since I live in Florida, and they are too expensive, but I used the Gran Marnier, and also the seedless Raspberry Jelly, along with diced up Strawberries instead, and it was absolutely very delicious! This is a keeper for me..we are loving this recipe..thank you for sharing this very beautiful, elegant, and delicious Cheesecake! (Jan. 11, 2013)
