Answer 1

Here are a few I've made on and off for years.  One is one my mom made for many years as well (the Dinah Short cheesecake recipe), and the other is one on found on www.allrecipes.com.  It's a huge hit and I've made it many times as well. So they are both tried and true recipes, not just something I found for you on the internet.  Although don't ever underestimate doing a Google search, especially for recipes.

DINAH SHORE CHEESECAKE

CRUST:

1 3/4 c. graham cracker crumbs

1/4 c. finely chopped walnuts

1/2 c. melted butter

FILLING:

2 (8 oz.) pkgs. Philadelphia cream cheese

3 eggs

1 c. sugar

2 tsp. vanilla

3 c. sour cream

Mix crust ingredients. Remove 3 tablespoons for topping. Press remaining on bottom and up sides of 9" spring form pan.

Combine eggs, cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Blend in sour cream.

Pour into crust. Top with reserved crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour. Chill 4 to 5 hours before serving.

CHOCOLATE CAPPUCCINO CHEESECAKE

Here's the link for the cappuccino cheesecake.  No point in pasting all that here.  Besides, this is one of my favorite recipes sites.  It's worth checking things out on this site.  The one recommendation I would make for this cheesecake is when you make the chocolate crust, you purchase the Nabisco chocolate wafers.  There are sometimes hard to find on the shelf in the cookies aisle in the grocery store, but most stores carry them... they are nice and dark and make the best crust.

Answer 9

Cheesecake Supreme

Makes 12 to 16 servings



1 3/4 cups finely crushed graham crackers (or oreos or another type of cookies or crackers)

1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup butter, melted

3 packages cream cheese (8 ounces each) - any brand is good (even low fat varieties)

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel (optional)

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

1/4 cup milk

Dairy sour cream (optional)

For crust, in a medium mixing bowl stir together crushed graham crackers, walnuts, and cinnamon. Stir in butter. If desired, reserve 1/4 cup for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom and about 2 inches up sides of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan; set aside.

For filling, soften cream cheese. In a large mixing bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, vanilla, and lemon peel (if using); beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add whole eggs and egg yolk all at once, beating on low speed just until combined (do not overbeat). Stir in milk.

Pour filling into crust-lined pan. If desired, top with reserved crumbs. Place on a shallow baking pan. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 45 to 50 minutes for 8-inch pan, 35 to 40 minutes for 9-inch pan, or until center appears nearly set when shaken gently.

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a sharp, thin bladed knife to loosen the crust from the sides of the pan; cool for 30 minutes more. Remove the sides of the pan; cool cheesecake completely. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. Top cheesecake with sour cream and spoon on seedless red raspberry preserves; swirl with a spoon, if desired. Makes 12 to 16 servings.

Make-Ahead Tip:

Up to 1 day ahead, prepare and bake cheesecake. Cool as directed, then chill. Just before serving, swirl on sour cream and preserves, if desired.

Answer 10

Making a great cheesecake isn't that difficult, but tips from the pros  can help.  Try visiting the Philadelphia Cheesecake Center http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/entertainin...

You'll find Cheesecake 101, a step-by-step guide to a great cheesecake that also includes a video if you'd rather learn by watching than reading.  

A cheesecake in a springform pan is traditional, but if you're not a regular baker, baking one in a 13x9-inch baking pan is also a great alternative.  Here are a few great recipes to try:

Philly Oreo Cheesecake: This can be made in either a springform pan (see Tip) or 13x9-inch pan  http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/phi...

Oreo Chocolate Cream Cheesecake:  Chocolate cheesecake + Oreo cookies= yum!  http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/ore...

Ultimate Turtle Cheesecake:  This is my personal favorite with chocolate, caramel and nuts.   If the cheesecake top cracks (as often happens), you can't tell because it is covered in those ingredients after baking!  http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/ult...
