I'd sell my children for cheesecake.

I don't like your internet cheesecake, it tastes like screen.

I'd say 'add more chocolate', but that can't be good for the screen.

Indeed

Wow, That's next on my list of things to make. :3 I'm only good at Banana/pumpkin/zucchini bread and Pumpkin rolls (Yule Logs). :3 I'll have to try; would you say it's easy? :3

I think cheesecake is pretty easy to make. The hardest part is to get it to not crack on the surface (took me years to figure that one one).

What I do is put the spring pan in a pan with an inch of water to keep it from cracking during baking and when I first take it out of the pan I run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake so it doesn't stick to the spring pan and crack while cooling.

I never had an issue with this, but a lot of people seem to... don't overbeat the eggs. I'm not sure why, but I've heard it changes the texture and makes it crack.

I haven't tried yule logs since they're a relatively new thing for me, but I'd like to try making them at some point.

Ah, cool. So you use the bain marie to prevent the cracking? Sounds fair enough... And yule logs are easy; if you want, I can give you the recipe? It'as super easy to make!

As for beating the eggs, I don't have an electric mixer, so I'd have to do it by hand with a wisk... So overbeating shouldn't be a problem. XD

Now, can you make it without the spring pan? I'm a poor college student... XD

LOL... if you have to do it by hand then I feel really, really sorry for you. >_<
I can only imagine making meringue like that... my arm would fall off.

And a spring pan is pretty much a must for authentic cheesecake, but you can pick them up pretty cheap. I'd say about $9-$15 at a store like 'Bed, Bath & Beyond' or possibly Sears. If you're desperate, you can always find them online - https://www.google.com/search?q=spring+pan&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=spring%20pan&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=shop&source=og&sa=N&tab=wf&psj=1&ei=82IsT_HOAYGi2gWi-_nmDg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=839dfbf38d79355&biw=1366&bih=598

Oh wow, FA didn't like that link...

Hmm, well, I could always make it in a pie tin, couldn't I? I have to walk everywhere, and there aren't many stores like that nearby, but... I could try to find one. :3

But, I've made a lot of stuff by hand, so my arm is... Used to mixing stuff. Thanks though. May I ask what recipe you use? :3

I guess you could, but if just wouldn't be an authentic cheesecake. It'd be more like that the Jello brand no-bake cheesecake mix is like (which is really good, BTW... but to me that's just not real cheesecake).

Don't quote me on that since I've never tried to make it in a pie tin, nor do I really want to. >_<
A spring pan is a good investment to make if you plan on making lots of cheesecake. I love mine.

As for my champagne and strawberry cheesecake recipe, like my cinnamon-raisin challah recipe is actually my own. What I do is take a 'base' recipe and adapt it as I see fit to make it 'better'.

For example, the original recipe for this cheesecake had waaaaay too many strawberries and virtually no champagne taste. I changed that. >_<
My challah recipe was just a standard challah, but I sweetened it up and added cinnamon and raisins.

I just like to experiment with different foods and see what kind of outcomes that I get.

Yeah, I love the Jello brand ones, and that's what I was considering.... Nearest BB&B is about 30 miles away - not walking distance - and the aluminum pie tin is.... roughly 3 bucks at a nearby store so~ Hehe, I'll have to give that a try, most definately; alright... But if you want, I still can give you my Pumpkin Roll Recipe. :3 it's a simple and quick make, and the only thing it requires is a 10X15 cookie sheet in terms of "cookware." but a mixing bowl and a spoon of some sort to mix it is good as well. :3

Well, pumpkin bread would probably be a no-go for me... my husband hates anything pumpkin flavored and won't even try it, so I'd end up having to eat the entire thing by myself. :/

If it was chocolate or possible vanilla, I'd say yes, definitely.

It's so delicious you won't want to share it. XD but... Yeah! I'm sure you can substitue pumpkin for vanilla or chocolate... :3

All right, go on and send it along.

If you want a cheesecake recipe, I have plenty... chocolate chip cheescake (which seems to be a fave in my household. I highly recommend that one), French silk cheesecake, I have a snickers cheesecake recipe... somewhere. I hope I can find that because it was good, Lemon/White chocolate cheesecake, Pumpkin/Caramel cheesecake. I'd probably have to go digging for some of them, though.

Alrighty, I'll send it to you in a note. :3 And... uhm.... The chocolate Chip one sounds pretty good; either that or the plain one (so I can tinker) :3

LOL... I actually have the Ritz Hotel's cheesecake recipe if you just want a plain one... oh man, I really hope I can find that one. If I lost that one I'll be sad because I'll no longer be able to say that I have the Ritz hotel's recipe. :/

The chocolate chip one I know exactly where it is, so hopefully I can PM you that one tonight.

Alrighty, no rush. I sitll have to find my recipe too. :3

Okay, I found my Ritz Hotel cheesecake recipe. I sent it to my mom, so I had a copy of it in my e-mail inbox. It calls for a vanilla bean, which is expensive... but if you don't want to spend money on that, I'm sure it'd be just fine without it.

PMing that to you now.

Actually, Found a store that sells them locally - half a mile away, but it's like 25 bucks per pan. C'est la vie. :3

thats...so beautiful T^T

Wow that looks yummy, I would love to know your recipe!

I've never made a cheesecake, though I am a dab hand at most desserts.
