  1. I feel like I wanna give you a hug, Home Cooking Adventure. I've tried both this and your classic cheesecake recipes and they were both HUGE successes at my house. They're not overly sweet, and were just on the freakin' point. Loved them both. Can't wait for the next adventure.

  2. I'm making your recipe right now. I had to tweak it just a bit. I added some vanilla and I was short just a little bit of sour cream so i added heavy cream. And I'm 2oz shy of chocolate chips so I'm just going to make a thin chocolate sauce for the top. I'm making it in pie form so i hope it will come out just fine. ?

  3. mam can u spell the name of the tray ur using to hold the batter.. lovely recipies ur presenting.. can u show up some recipies without using oven.. same kind of recipies .. will be great for people not using oven like me..
