"I love this recipe, however the top of my cheesecake gets very dark and although the taste is fabulous it doesn't look as pretty as Ina's. "

"Loved this cheesecake!
I did make just a few alterations, I used 4 packages of cream cheese and one marscapone. I also only used the zest from one lemon and will cut that back to 1/2 tablespoon. It was beautiful, and the very first cheese cake that didn't crack. For topping I used blueberries that I had froze from summer, just cooked a quart wit"

"Just made this cheese cake. While it was baking it was almost higher then the pan but as soon as it was removed from the oven it fell to almost a third of the size. Mine cracked also but I don't mind the cracks. I like the homemade look. The caked had a nice flavor, but presentation lacked. I served with cracker barrel cherries and whipped toppin""

"Very tasty! The tops didn't brown as much as I like, but we learn by our mistakes and next time will move the oven rack closer to the top. I make some by the recipe as is and added the crumbs to some. The crumbs really do kick them up a bit. "
