This does look yummy but is it too rich.. Im not a huge lover of cheesecake... I read somewhere for baked cheesecake you should put a bowl of water in the oven like you do with bread ..

We didn't find it too rich Kim, but it was to share with lots of people. I'm not sure about the bowl of water. I believe if you turn the oven off and allow it to cool in the oven it won't crack. I didn't have any problems with this one.

Here it is cookie

"Provide a moist baking environment for your cheesecake by placing a small bowl of hot tap water on the bottom of the oven.  The steaming effect created helps prevent burning and the drying out of the cake crumbs".

From the philly cheese website.. Never heard of it before reading it though ..

Thanks for that. I'll try to remember it.

Has anyone successfully made this with no/reduced sugar and gluten free flour by any chance? I've been eyeing off this recipe for ages but don't have much luck at modifying recipes.

Welcome to the forum EmilyP. Hopefully someone will be able to offer you advice.

Can someone please share the recipe, I have been wanting to try a cheesecake recipe for ages, and I think its time
Looking at the reviews, this looks like a perfect one for my first trial

Hi Thermilover...The recipe is in the Tm31 EDC, p. 170.  Called "Baked cherry crumble cheesecake"... Maybe someone with the TM5 book can check to see if its in there...

[judydawn]

It doesn't appear to be in the contents list of the TM5 - unless I can't see the forest for the trees    In my edition of the EDC for the TM31, it's on page 139 and is called German Cherry Crumble Cheesecake.  I've sent you a copy of it thermilover.

[thermilover]
