And as one of the lucky ladies who ate this cheesecake, I know it tastes as good as it looks! I've had many cheesecake disasters and apparently haven't learned from my mistakes so I'm excited to try your tips!

Thanks Gina! It was a delight to spend the evening at your place, and the fireplace made the perfect setting.

Love this, Nola! The childhood memories (they remind me of my own), the honesty, the encouragement, the stunning photos and that cheesecake recipe! Whew! I love to attempt cheesecake as well, but why have I never heard of the low, slow method?! I’ll definitely be trying that one of these days 😊 Do you skip the water bath idea altogether then?

Merry Christmas!

Thanks Susan! Did I get the program and the baggie part right? 😉

Yes, I skip the water bath! Don't miss it at all. 😅

Can I just say I LOVE hearing you recount your childhood Christmas memories 😍 And the cheesecake looks nothing short of amazing. I'll have to try your 240 temperature 🤩

You are so kind, Janelle. 💖 I was writing this thinking that no one wants to hear my memories, but maybe it will stir up their own.

Bring that cheesecake over. I'll make coffee and tell you stories...until you are bored. 😅

I've used this method for mocha cheesecake, pumpkin, key lime, Reese's, chocolate chip cookie dough, lemon, and more. Feel free to use any recipe you'd like.
