Friends have suggested over and over that I submit this creation to a magazine because it's so good. For the best texture, make sure not to overmix the batter. -Jamie Harris, Danville, Illinois

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake cracked on top. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I would have preferred a lighter, fluffier texture.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this cheesecake. The white chocolate flavor really balances out the coconut.

I had some trouble getting the cheesecake to set properly. I ended up having to bake it for an extra 30 minutes.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your cheesecakes too sweet.
