First cheesecake ever made and it turned out absolutely amazing the taste was really good, a few pointers if u are making it. Cream the sugar and cream cheese together first than add the other ingredients (eggs last). Then when it's done leave the oven door open with the cheesecake inside for 10-15 minutes. Doing this mine had really no cracks in it at all and I really recommend this the taste was SOOO good!

[@leggingsarepants3175]

good tip... im thinking maybe going from a really hot oven to room temp could cause it to crack? idk why it happens but maybe that's why you don't get cracks by letting it cool down in the oven.

[@venessacarrillo281]

[@SweetGulab]

I think you are very down to earth person. I never seen stuck up in you and i been watching for years. 💗

[@cellievalencia4566]

I made this last year and my family loved it, it was their first time eating cheesecake 🥺🥺🥺 making it again this year

[@Itsabananarainbow]

I've been using this recipe for years now and everyone whose tried it loved it! Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is as soft as possible, it makes it so much better!

[@Itsabananarainbow]

Also I only use 4 pkgs of cream cheese!

[@castellelow8455]

I made this and it has no cracks at all. It was perfect and delicious. I looovve this recipe!

[@john.andrew.brighton]

I would like to thank you on this Thanksgiving Day because I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving and my whole family enjoyed it so thanks again. They thought I bought it at a bakery but I said I told them I made it from scratch.

[@0617sad]

I am 24 years old and this is the first time I have EVER made cheesecake. I am in love!! It couldn't have come out more perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. My whole family lived it! Thanks! :)♡♡

[@fifisugarlove3606]

OMG Laura ! I made this 2 days ago, and it came out PERFECT, the crust, the filling..... We ate it yesterday evening and it was a hit, everybody was taking pictures of my cheesecake ! I'm from Paris, France, and i have to tell you, that everytime i follow one of your recipes it always comes out perfect. Except for the cinnamon rolls......they came out harder than rocks, i could have killed someone with it ! Thank you

[@marylevina5117]

Layla Albassam The problem wasn't with her recipe, it was with your yeast :)

[@brendajorge3406]

I've made cinnamon rolls a few times now first time they were hard as a rock but because I didn't use whole milk after that lesson learned super soft and tasty everyone always ask for them. Give it another try I'm sure they will come out perfect.

[@ddaagggg]

haha thought I was alone on this one! I'm from México, hard as rocks cinnamon rolls too (x2), I'm gonna try Brenda's whole milk tip! Thanks

[@lironperlmutter5760]

This week we celebrated Shavu'ot. For this holiday we make dairy food. I took a chance and made this cake with my son. It was wonderful! We've got so many compliments. My family said it was just like a ckae from a professional bakery. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.

[@JeremiahKlarman]

Chag Sameach!

[@NiyahBubbly]

I made this, and it was DELICIOUS!! And I usually don't like cheesecake! I made it for my grandfather.

[@reig.7006]

Damn it Laura making me hungry at 10pm

[@taylerm.3794]

I know how u feel 😭😭

[@aurorablake6802]

+Yuza Midori I know how you feel. Just eat and seing this made hungry again!!!

[@lisasierra29]

No matter what I’m looking to cook I always find myself on Laura’s page thank you so much for always positing recipes of all nationalities 😉

[@sairafazal331]

It couldn't be more simple. Tried this recipe for years now. Always turns out to be so good. Thank you Laura. I have been following your recipes for more than a decade now.

[@AnimaSola3o4]

Your recipe on your site says 1 teaspoon of salt, and in the video you said half. Just so you know lol. I used about 3/4 of a teaspoon so I guess I'm covered lmao.

[@aimeelynjaranilla7438]

Yes exactly I made 1 tsp instead of 1/2 tsp ...result salty:( other than its salty it taste good I think

[@patsychavez9285]

Forget my old recipe I'm making this one for my daughter's bday cheesecake is her favorite, thanks Laura😋

[@Tashatoxic1]

Definitely my favorite chef on here! I LOVE these recipes.

[@eViL1686]

cream all the other ingredients first, then add the eggs last, and mix until just well combined, to prevent cracking, if you do care =D

[@patsychavez9285]

大可王 I don't care either I add topping to mine also hey this is her way you have your way no need for rudeness, Laura is so sweet

[@oliviaferris9290]

Wow she actually said the measurements

[@felicialiliana1957]

I just made the cake for my sister's bday and it turns out sooooo good!! Everyone loves it! Thanks for the recipe :)

[@jamenchiefe]

Laura i want to say a big big thank you, for this very simple recipe. And the result is so delicious.

[@houghtonjohn7778]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@peacebwithu97]

I love the music in her videos as well as how she describes what each ingredient's job is in the recipes. Btw, I subbed after seeing her take the 2nd bite. I love a chef that EATS her food.

[@1234rula]

I take back what I said. I made this cake. Tremendous success. You.are.amazing

[@martinserafin747]

fthz@Rula Martini fix tf bn

[@karinaramirez8972]

Rula Martini can you put it back in the refrigerator after placing the berries?

[@nfrazier911]

Rula Martini hey do you think I can use my 9in pan

[@1234rula]

Yes, I don't see why not! It has to be chilled anyway!

[@1234rula]

Sure, I don't see why not!

[@sterlingpadula7827]

Laura- YOU ARE MY QUEEN THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE I JUST FINISHED IT AND I JUST REPLACED THE RASBERRY PRESERVES WITH STRAWBERRY PUREE AND PUT STRAWBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES ON MINE AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC YOU ARE FOREVER MY FAVE COOKING CHANNEL

[@user-ri5ko8jh7f]

Thank you Laura for explaining so detailed and for showing the containers of the products, that makes very easy to identify them if we know them with a different name. I personally appreciate that you make things easy, so we are not scared to try something new with a very fancy name. God Bless You!

[@lauralopez-oy7qq]

Laura I have made a couple of your recipes and every time it has been a HIT! thank you for these awesome recipes they are out of this world!

[@nfrazier911]

I love how realistic you are.

[@rajingiri9424]

Great recipe tried it yesterday loved it!

[@whataboutgirlsailor]

I just made this and it came out PERFECT! My family loved it and they want me to make it for their birthdays. Thank you so much!

[@KaitlinH25]

I made this cheesecake for my husband and I today and it turned out perfectly! Best homemade cheesecake I've ever had. It had simple ingredients and instructions. Thanks Laura!

[@lova41]

Made it today... came out beautiful ♡

[@houghtonjohn7778]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@1956froggy]

Laura, Laura, Laura...Nothing beats the texture and taste of a cheesecake baked in a water bath. You're right, though. It takes a lot longer and the cooling period is a bummer, but what a result. Also, I find that the graham crust "kills" the cheesecake. In a water bath, you have nothing but the taste of the fantastic cheese...nothing else to overcome the smoothness of the cheese. If I'm going to invest time and effort in making a cheesecake, I want the result to be, as you would say, phenomenal! Thanks for listening and keep on cookin'! :D

[@perlastegall4182]

Made this for Mother’s Day #2020 it was so delicious, thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

[@esthersilchuk3259]

I made this today for my sisters birthday and it is by far the best cheesecake ever!!! Thankyou Laura. Turned out beautiful and it was simple and easy.

[@saharbella3435]

Know my cheescake is in my oven and im soo exited

[@jenniferskweter]

In this video she kinda looks like KATY PERRY.I DONT KNOW WHY .

[@aashka9487]

The eye liner

[@jr.rivera7824]

Laura is prettier than Katy Perry

[@john.andrew.brighton]

Rene Mendoza true

[@montacubare]

I made it exactly like this, with the same barries, it almost made me cry from happiness when I saw exactly what I've been seing watching this video over a year or more. It turned out beautiful and people loved it, tasted amazing. It was a total day maker ! :) Thank you, Laura, for the recipe! :)

[@houghtonjohn7778]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@Thebullshitism]

i made my first cheescake, with help from you... and my chhescake turned out SUPER GOOD!!!! i didnt do it exactly the same way because i live in sweden and we dont have som of the ingredients that you have but i did my best and it turned out fantastic... Thank you soo much!!

[@MrHeavymetalmania]

I'm pretty sure if I was Laura's husband i'd be fat as hell then i'd be worried about divorce.

[@jovan5397]

+MrHeavymetalmania That's very rude :(

[@MrHeavymetalmania]

JoVAN DeKraken I'm just saying that if Laura was my wife I would never leave the kitchen. A.) She's hot B.) She cooks pretty much anything i'd want to eat minus i'm guessing Sushi (One of my favorite foods) and I don't eat beef or pork. I look at it more like a compliment and not being rude.

[@koyesmiah7699]

+krisc89 that true don't listen 👂 to those people

[@misstiphany18]

That is gorgeous

[@houghtonjohn7778]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@gemmairish6733]

Hey Laura! I just wanted to say that I tried this cheesecake recipe and you were absolutely right! I impressed everyone who had a taste! I even had a few swear that it was store bought which in my opinion, is such an amazing compliment to receive. I am at the point now that I've made this cheesecake so many times for different Holidays or occasions. I have used toppings from pineapples, strawberries and even made a triple chocolate turtle cheesecake, based off of what you've shown me. I just wanted to thank you because this has given me something special to share with my family and it's all thanks to you! My next goal is to learn how to make vanilla cake. It is my sons' favorite and would be so rewarding to make him proud, that I could make one from scratch. And I think my husband would enjoy something other than box cake. I hope you know a good one and would love to see your video on that. I have no doubt you'd nail it! Thank you soo much!!

[@CowboyCassonova]

thankful to see reviews that actually that rate this recipe according to their own attempts. This is going to be my first attempt at making cheesecake and i want to do it for a christmas get together at my church. I live on a small island in the Caribbean and what I'm really hoping for now is that we sell cream cheese here lol.

[@edupbeat]

I'm not trying to front ms Laura's vid but orange zest I've found taste better.

[@sweetnov75]

edupbeat I do both lemon and orange zest and juice

[@danimarie1381]

Adopt me please

[@ojpistorius6369]

I will hahahah

[@TSmith72110]

I just made this last night and tasted it today. Aside from the huge crack down the middle, this cheesecake is AMAZING. Its so perfect in taste it really doesnt need any toppings.

[@lovelynin21]

I seriously have watched all of your videos!! and I love them all! you make things soo simple and easy for everyone.

[@Aa93fa]

you're beautiful, professional and smart but annoying :P also you have such a really good amount of information about kitchen things. you deserve like and subscribe :)

[@sydneyc1810]

Back again! I make this every year for the holidays.

[@danielapeter3826]

My husband is a big cheesecake lover and he knows a good cheesecake taste.The only problem is that is the supermarkets they contain way too many ingredients and in a bakery its pretty expensive.i like cheesecakes with medium texture, not too moist but not too dry so i decided to give your recipe a try.Laura it came out fantastic! it was my first cheesecake ever and it was a succes. P.S -the "expert"loved it!

[@fractalglobule]

Laura, baked this for my roommate's birthday today. It came out very well. Everyone loved it :) This was my first attempt at cheesecake baking and very happy it was so good :) Thank you very much for the recipe :)

[@thearmyofskank]

Idk how many times I’ve watching this video. It was so good! I keep coming back to it.

[@RunicMike]

Oldie but a goodie.

[@chandrawahyu]

I made this today and everyone was like "you made this?! no way. seriously?? i thought you bought it at cake shop" Since in indonesia blueberry blackberry and raspberry were nowhere to be found, then i replaced it with strawberry. and it's hella good. thankyou lauraaa, you're my personal chef, thankyouuuuu!!!! -love from indonesia

[@orangesoda2276]

[@susang90221]

Laura I woke up today and decorated my cheesecake! It looked so pretty I didn't want to cut it haha!! Everyone loved it!!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!! Your the reason why I got into baking :)

[@houghtonjohn7778]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@MizzJ088]

I want to thank you Laura for all these amazing recipes

[@MrHannZIE]

you must have your cooking show at tv! you are making me drool!

[@chantalguerrero9695]

so I made this last night here's my advice, first cream together the sugar and cream cheese until it's very smooth then add why thing else, if u just throw everything in u might get chunks of cheese, also ad egg one by one. very delicious:)

[@thexinfactor]

To anyone who's watching Laura for the first time and isn't sure whether to trust her recipes - I pulled a Julie & Julia and did almost all her dessert recipes already - each one of them is seriously, truly, amazingly delicious!

[@beautifulsins20]

I make my own kind of cheesecake all the time, but i wanted to see different ways of making it. And since, thanks to you i learned how to make cupcakes from scratch, i decided to see if you had a cheesecake recipe and you did! It came out so much better than the once i make, and i think its the sour cream, never thought of putting the sour cream in there. THANK YOU!!!

[@gabrielaflores2259]

I love this recipe! I make this cheesecake every year for the holidays.

[@ayimila342]

The best outfit, the best make-up, the best hair do, the best look of Laura Vitale in this video :*

[@oscargrimaldo2174]

I love Lauren's Ideas

[@Msrussianbeauty20]

I made this cheesecake soo many times that people love them!!! HOWEVER! i did it a little bit different. Instead of leaving my cream cheese out to get a room temperature, I place each pack individually into the microwave for 1 min and it mixes 10000x times better and as Laura said, the little you mix, the little cracks you get. I made it this past weekend and had NO CRACKS!

[@gingerchavez9877]

Made this at home and it was a great hit! No cracks, very delicious, and looks fancy!!! Thanks Laura your the Best!!

[@doggolover657]

I saw this video hundred times. It is absolutely fantastic. Thanks.

[@HayaAshraf123]

Sometimes when I try one of her recipes and it comes out great, like always, I go back to the video and watch her eat it and I relate her comment to my taste. She's so true!

[@thomasboss01]

Her recipes are the only ones online that I trust!

[@jennifershore1446]

I make this for Christmas every year and it’s a huge hit!! Thank you and have a great holiday!!

[@Samantha4222]

I love this recipie it is so good and flavored and easy

[@Msrussianbeauty20]

I tried to cut down on sugar and instead of the jam, i am using fresh raspberry puree (i strain it from the seeds) and add 1 tsp of sugar for a little sweetness. Comes out very delicious!

[@ashleyd6085]

I'm a cheesecake fanatic and used your receipe & OMG!!! It was DELICIOUS!!!

[@LauraintheKitchen]

@Arrowhead729 i'm not sure because i do not put my cheesecake in the freezer. However it will last 3 or 4 days in the fridge. :)

[@junipertree2601]

my 2 year old son wants to watch this specific recipe every night before bed. He'll be so excited when I make one for his birthday this year

[@sahanikoralage5000]

Made this just now. baby's in the oven and I'm sitting fingers crossed..🤞😍 thank you for your armature proof recipies Laura ! ❤

[@harmonium101]

[@ginaflores2995]

I made this last night and it is sooo delicious. My husband was impressed ;) thankyou so much for the recipe!!!

[@brittneygoulding9368]

I seriously love any kind of baked cheesecake! This one looks so delicious! I have to share though, I have an amazing recipe for baked cheesecake with a sponge cake base!!!! It also uses heavy whipping cream instead of sour cream and it is heavenly!! I do bake with a water bath just because that's how I've seen it done all my life but I let it cool outside the oven. Thanks for sharing all your amazing delicious recipes!

[@ChiefOScience]

I watched more than 15 cheesecake recipes on youtube and THIS one is the best and easiest!!! :)

[@JaimieLee]

just finish making this cheese cake and i gotta say, its one of the best cheese cake I have ever made!!! thank you so much for the recipe!!

[@scion22ify]

I have to say I have made many of your recipes and they all come out excellent. Thank you for your time and for showing us some recipes we would have never tried if it weren't for you. :)

[@paticool123]

[@thelifeofmybettas01]

She says "so good" every time she eats something LOL :D

[@thtsummer]

woah that looks soo professional looking!!!

[@maggieandbart1]

Laura, hi, made this cheesecake for a special event this weekend, it was amazing and didn't crack at all. I put raspberry preserve and fresh fruit on top as you did. Next time I make it I am going to serve it with a fresh fruit coulis......mmmmm..yum. Thanks for all your videos.

[@thevirtualnightmare]

this recipe is sooooo much more simple ty!

[@thomasboss01]

*Just a suggestion* Before adding in the other ingredients, beat the cream cheese lightly first. This will make everything else mix easier and reduce the amount of lumps in the batter.

[@CookitupSon]

Hi Laura! I made TWO of your recipes. Cheese cake and Ice cream cake for my boyfriend's 19th birthday and it was AWESOME!!! Soo delcious! Thank you soo much :DD

[@RceeChaske]

[@killeralexis123]

really people why hating laura vitale videos she is a excellent coocker she inspired me to be a chef even though im 12 years old

[@natashapix376]

Yes! You can. You can use a hand mixer or you can use a whisk or a spoon. It will just take you longer but it is definitely possible!

[@Vivalarachie]

I love your facial expressions when you taste one of the desserts. I will definitely make this!

[@nanateali1038]

thank you dear, I will do that next week. good night
