For Easter dessert, I made an almond vanilla flavored cheesecake...I'm not exaggerating when I say in the last 20 years, I've made 80-100 cheesecakes! I started with cheap spring form pans, moving up to the Analon brand, my recommended pans for these cakes.. I followed recipes, learning the basics of a tasty cheesecake. My ongoing battle was to make cheesecakes that didn't crack during or after cooking! I played with ingredients, heat temperatures, and times...Finally, I solved the riddle of cracking! If you want to know the technique, E-mail me, as I am not inclined to print it on my blog!
The topping for this dessert will be a caramel sauce, drizzled over the top of each piece- if we have room for dessert! Happy Easter to all!

I would guess an extra egg...
But my wife does the cheese cake in our house and I love her recipe
happy easter! i need it...send it my way and i will convince my wife to make one for me. smiles.
Whatever it is, I don't want to know it - cheesecake is a weakness for me that I don't have any business conquering. (over 50 = battle of the bulge) I'll just stick to the occaisional indulgence in a resaurant.
BUT, yours looks wonderful and I'm totally impressed that you have mastered this! Happy Easter!
Yum! I tend to stay away from cheesecakes as they are too tempting. Definitely never make one at home because I am afraid it would disappear too quickly. Good job figuring out how to keep them from cracking!
At first I thought you said cheesecake WITH crack and I thought, "Huh, Richard has found a way to boost repeat sale volume" :)
Nice looking dessert, my friend. I bet it's even better with the sauce.
Tempting us and making us beg!

Spring Form Pans?
Just like the Pro's..
I use a store bought Keebler graham cracker crust.

Darngirl- Got some left...:)
G-man- Traditional cheesecake, and I make my own crust! Super easy...
I have an award for you on my blog....Accept and Enjoy, no rules...
Heff knows the trick (thanks to Donna), and it has NOTHING to do with the cake ingredients.
You won't get STEAMED if I grab a glass of H20 will ya ? lol !
Robin- Thanks! You have probably figured out I don't post any awards..to encourage newcomers and not intimidate them!
Heff- Wrong! No water,, I don't trust a spring form pan that much!
MWM loves Cheesecake. :)
Ake- The almond was fragrant and tasty!
