After trying and trying different cheesecake recipes, I formulated one of my own. I do believe this is the perfect cheesecake. Very simple with a wonderful taste. You will need a 10 inch springform pan and to prepare a basic graham cracker crust beforehand.

    I can not believe you posted the secret family cheesecake recipe! At least now everyone on Zaar can benefit from it. This is the best cheesecake. Everyone who has tried it begs for more. I use crust Graham Cracker Crust. Also note that this cheesecake freezes wonderfully. I have frozen individual slices and when thawed they are as rich and creamy as the original.

    What a cheesecake! And I do think this is the best baked plain cheesecake I have ever had. I saw the picture on the front page of Zaar, and knew I had to have it. Mine didnt turn out as brown as yours is, but it was browned a little and it was wonderful! Creamy and perfect in every way for me! Thanks so much!
