holy freakin shit!!! I made this twice during the holidays and i just can’t thank you enough for the recipe. i came back to look for it because I’m making it for a friend’s birthday and all the scrumptious memories came back to me. I didn’t use the alcohols but it still tasted out of this world. also like many who made the wafers said, the crust was just too buttery but it just seeps out so it’s not that big of a deal. and i might just be the fattest fatass ever but i ate astronomical slices without needing any breaks haha!

mamabird — It might be as simple as your oven’s temperature being off. A thermometer may help so that you can adjust the dial, or you can, as I always used to when I had an oven that always ran cool, just presume extra baking time on deep cakes like this.

I love cheesecake and I live in a small town that doesn’t have anywhere to go for great cheesecake. I tried to make my husband a chocolate cheesecake for Valentine’s and it didn’t work out. I baked it for the recommended time and still, the texture was of an unbaked cheesecake. Have you ever done a cheesecake tutorial, just as you did with pie crusts? I want to learn how to make a good cheesecake. I often find that, despite making a half recipe in a 7″ springform, I end up baking them for much longer than the recipe calls for. And I guess I’m never quite sure how to tell just how ’set’ it is. I’d love some help!

Very… very tasty. Try to made it yesterday. I didn`t use all right ingradients – i replaced some of those, but, still, hope cake taste was the same as your)
Nice recipe!

My friends Jane and Jill made this for my 25th birthday last week – it was the BEST cake I have EVER eaten…and we three are all obsessive bakers. It fed 27 people too. Thanks for the inspiration! I’ve put a photo of their effort on my flickr page – cheers Deb we all love your site :)

Radius.

does 9″ refer to the radius of the pan, or the height?

mmmmm… I made this for a late christmas celebration, and it won over even dedicated coffee-dislikers. SOOOO GOOOOD! And, I think it may have been even better after a few days! I can’t wait to find another celebration to make this for!

Chocolate wafer cookies would be just fine, as would chocolate chips. Good luck!

Sorry I am such a newbie, but I have a few more questions…

For the crust, can I substitute chocolate wafer cookies with Oreo cookie crumbs?

Can I also use chocolate chips (i.e. Hershey’s) for the crust/ganache or does it have to be the blocks of chocolate (i.e. Baker’s)?

Thanks.
