Philly Cheesecake image

Just plain-old, extra good cheesecake like the ones from New York and Philly. You may cover the cake with a layer of strawberries, cherries, etc. but, in my opinion, this cake is very, very good and easily stands on its own. The fruit just distracts from its great flavor and texture.

This cheesecake is the perfect make-ahead dessert. I love that I can make it a day or two in advance and it's still just as good when I'm ready to serve it.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was curdled. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

This cheesecake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would cut the sugar in the filling by half next time.

I was a little skeptical about making this cheesecake because I'm not a very experienced baker, but it turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow and the cheesecake was delicious.

This cheesecake was a hit at my party! The crust was the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the filling was creamy and smooth. The cheesecake also had a beautiful golden brown color. I will definitely be making this again!
