15 Reviews of Red Velvet Cheesecake

I made this for Christmas, and it was absolutely divine! Everybody loved it! It tastes just like a red velvet cake in cheesecake form. One note: this is pretty sweet, maybe too sweet for some people (but not me or anyone else in MY family). Also, mine cracked badly, but I was able to kind of smoosh it closed after it cooled, and then you couldn't tell at all after the topping was put on. This went into my keeper file; I think my family will be insisting on having this every Christmas from now on!

I made this recipe when it was #107604, which was made with plain graham crackers, not chocolate. It also only used 2 ONE ounce bottles of red food coloring, not 2 two ounce bottles. The orginal recipe is the one I took my photo of. Fortunately, I still had that recipe (which I tried to find today) and will continue to make. The original recipe was very good, but I did use a water bath so it wouldn't crack. I can't give this recipe any stars, as it was different than the recipe this one replaced.

I, too, took this to work today for a Christmas party potluck. Although there were quite a few leftover desserts, this one did not last! I think this is a delicious cheesecake. Because of its intense color, I would serve it for Christmas, New Year's, or Valentine's Day.

Made 3 cheesecakes for a fancy 5 course meal to serve 25. I garnised the slices with chocolate swirls, mint leaves and a strawberry dipped in chocolate. This is the first cheesecake I have ever made(I am a cake baker) and I was very pleased with the results. Everyone raved about it. I baked according to the directions(took about 5-8 minutes longer than time specified), but I let it cool completely on a wire rack before chilling. Two of the cakes did crack, but that weasn't a problem because of the topping. I will definetly make this cake again and again. It was great.

This cheesecake was wonderful. I took it to work and everyone loved it. The texture is very creamy and the sweetness was just right.It is a beautiful cake. I did not find it too difficult to make. I wrapped the pan with aluminum foil and put it in a water bath.

A yummy, rich, lovely cheesecake! Shared some with our business partner, and he has called to see if there is any left that he can have! Even my non-sweet eating DH said it was good. I really like this twist on the red velvet cake. Thank you!
