How flattering that you took me seriously and immediately investigated this cheesecake and then baked it with aplomb! Oh man it was creamy and sweet. I don't understand how something with that much fat can seem light, but it did. If it's not clear, every bite was heavenly. XO

Thanks to you, my cheesecake thinking is on a new path. What next? Cheesecake cookies?

I have not heard of them but I have made cookies with cream cheese. I think rugela has cream cheese also.

It was my Partner in Dine's birthday, so I made your recipe for her! It's so good that we decided that the next topic for our Facebook Page will be cheesecake!

I know you like your sweets! Too dang hot here right now to even think of baking, it was 107° the day before yesterday. I will definitely attempt this much later when the temps cool down. Maybe Thanksgiving or Christmas! Thank you for introducing this to us! Be safe over there!

Aloha, Skeeter. This cheesecake would be a home run at Thanksgiving. Stay cool now. Bake later.

A friend and I went to Cucina Florabella in Missoula. I was surprised to see Burnt Basque Cheesecake on the menu. It was good, but I do have to admit that I prefer the denser, richer version from the recipe you posted here. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/ADwoTyXBJDfsnze2/

I can also attest to how delicious and delightfully creamy this cheesecake is. And it's much easier on the cook when you just slide it into the oven and let it bake instead of having to change the temperature.

I think I'm going to have to try that! I wonder if it would work well with a lemon cheesecake?

Try it this way first. You’ll have to decide if lemon zest may be an intrusion. If you want to add lemon juice, how much?
