LOVE THIS!! My husband is VERY picky about his cheesecakes, and he absolutely LOVED this one. I did however use 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crust(I have a larger pan) and 3 blocks of cream cheese instead of 12oz. It turned out wonderful. I'll definitely be putting this recipe in the keep box. Thanks Paula!

Paula, I watch your show every afternoon.I love the way you explain everything. My mother and aunts taught me to cook the old fashion Texas way and I love it, but I have learned alot watching your show. You are so graceful and loving with everyone on the show. Thanks Paula.

Dear Paula, About 50 years ago, my Dad, who worked for a milk producer (ie: similar to one of the larger companies like Sealtest) on the dock where the milk delivery trucks were checked out and then back in at the end of the day, knew a lady who made this absolutely delicious pineapple cheese cake around Christmas time every year. I have never seen one like it since. I think it might have been made with cottage cheese rather than cream cheese since the milk company made thier own butter, ice cream, cottage cheese, buttermilk, etc., but I never saw any cream cheese. So, I wonder if you have this "pineapple" cheesecake recipe anywhere. It had the appearance of cottage cheese and not a smooth texture like the ones we see so much today. I really hope you can help me with this. I am a "bff" (best forever fan, and wish we could be friends too.) Love & Prayers, Dolly David

I made my 1st NY Cheesecake thanks to Paula Dean. This is my husband's favorite dessert and I was terrified of the tought of making it. However, it turn out PERFECT! Thanks Paula!

12 oz is cream cheese is incorrect. 3 bricks of cream cheese is the correct amount.

I just watched this episode, and Paula called for 3 blocks of cream cheese As far as I know, a block is 8 oz., so a total of 24 oz.

This is the easiest Cheesecake recipe ever! It tastes wonderful, is fast and easy to make, and is the perfect size to take to a small dinner party. The first one I made was an 8", which was a little on the flat side, the second I made in a 7" pan for a little more height. Both were wonderful and a big hit. It doesn't need the topping at all.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe! I also have a 10" springform pan......how can I adapt the 8" recipe version to accommodate a 10" pan?

By Sharon on March 04, 2011

This was delicious, but it was a very flat cheesecake, maybe an inch tall. I was expecting a big, thick NY style cheesecake...now I realize you need way more than 12 oz of cream cheese! Still great, though! My co-workers loved it! It was so rich that it didn't need the chocolate topping. The butter was dripping out from the crust!
