Did you forget eggs in this recipe? I make a lot of cheesecakes and don’t believe I have ever come across one without eggs, other than no bake ‘cheesecakes’. Thank you

Did you use light brown sugar for the crust and topping, or dark brown sugar? You specified light brown for the cheesecake, so I wasn’t sure! Thanks!

How did you keep it that long? It didn’t just last 5 or 6 wks in the fridge did it? Just wondering how long it will stay good, your post was 10/11 and thanksgiving was 11/23!
thanks,trish
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
Def won’t last that long! I prob made a new one for Thanksgiving. Can last prob 4 days!
Sandra says
Did you purchase the softened cream cheese or blocks of cream cheese, then soften
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
blocks and soften at room temp
Jane says
is it suppose to be so thick? Or did I completely mess it up?
Angela says
So i used brown sugar, because one said brown sugar, one said light brown sugar. Will this now ruin the recipe. I read in the comments you only used light. Also you mention cooling for 15 then chilling overnight. By “chilling” do you mean putting it in the fridge? Sorry for all the questions. I suck at baking and take everything literal. Oh also, my oven caught fire making this. I believe because when you said to “press into the bottom of pan” i literally only covered the bottom and now the sides, allowing the butter in top crust to seep through to bottom of oven and catch fire. Unless the pan i just bought sucks and didn’t lock right. I just noticed in your photos, your crust went up the sides
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
fire would be from the pan leaking, not the sides
Holly says
If you wrap foil around the bottom of the pan real tight it will catch the drips/leaks and should be okay.

Can this be made two days in advance?
Jenny says

This looks so good! I am going to make it and will just use a deep dish pie plate instead of the spring-form pan. I’m pretty sure it’s low on calories!!!!
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
def low on calories! ha!!
donna squires says
How many does it feed ?
Molly says
Do you suggest having the Carmel sauce warm for serving? I was going to make the Carmel the night before.
Anna says
Please can you add grams and milileters to this? Most others aren’t from the US and these measurements to some extent don’t make sense. I really appreciate the way this recipe has been laid out. Succinct and to the point ????
