[Vivalarachie]

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

[purfectsophieb]

@LoesChoices its the next day..

[purfectsophieb]

is it ok for the filling mixture to be clumpy?

[LUIS20589]

can you replace graham crackers with crushed oreos?

[ahartt92]

@LUIS20589 I know this was meant for Laura, but I'm sure you could, that sounds so delicious! =D

[LUIS20589]

@ahartt92 its cool, yeah I was planning to do something like that some day

[kawqa23]

[skrie19]

[BloodTimmay911]

[alidarkokerim]

[lameraloca]

I made this today and I must tell you that it was a HUGE hit!! Thank you so much for providing such easy and yummy recipes :)

[tiffanyjoxo]

Baking in the oven right now.. So excited!!

[mooilightRider]

How many degrees Celcious must the oven be when baking the cheesecake?

[puppies3330]

@mooilightRider She said its 325 but it could be 325 celcious or 325 fair and hight

[pbina87]

@puppies3330 I guess you mean "fahrenheit" when you say "fair and hight"...............

[pbina87]

@mooilightRider about 162°C

[tornado9389]

[kayrayz]

[jtaylor1mybaby]

OM...G D:

i LOVE cheesecake and i'm definitely trying this!

[31deathreaper]

OMG!!!!!! I can do with a piece of that now that looks so delicious

[monkeyfreak117]

is it too cheesy

[casano8a]

I love your apron!!!!!

[RKO805PimpRonnie]

R u suppose to bake the crust?

[bakingmyblueberry]

@RKO805PimpRonnie yes you are thats what sets it. :)

[meny03]

did she put the baking sheet under the cake pan? if she did will nice if she mention that, so can have the same result

[bruno2260]

@meny03 No she didn't, that's what the aluminum foil was for. See 0:59.

[ydtgwen]

Just wondering, if I halve the amount of ingredients (the original Laura recipes makes a too big cheesecake for me :) Do I still need to bake it for 1hr & 20 min exactly? Thx! And happy valentines day to you all~

[TomyHun]

@ydtgwen I'm no expert but I definitely wouldn't put it in for that long. But it also matters if you're doing it in a big cake pan with a thinner layer of cheese, or in a smaller pan (then the cheese layer will be nice and big). I'd say put it in for half the time and if it's not good, check it regularly, that's how I do these anyway. Hope this helps. :)

[rebelsbeautycorner]

I live in holland, we have some kick ass cheesecakes. It takes about 15 min. to make. And 2.5 hours to set in the frige. But I have no idea why you dont have a english word for kwark (quark??) cause we dont put cheese in it, and we dont bake the cake. the bottom is make of speculaas. It also has no english word for it clossest thing is brown spiced bisuit. If your ever in holland. try out our cheesecase. they are awesome!!

[littlemissinnocentz]

@rebelsbeautycorner im not being mean but.. how is it cheesecake w/o cheese?

[catburner]

Forget the cheese cake, I want a piece of her pie!

[deadsole]

Is it just me, or do you have a NY accent? hence you're from NY?

[foreverinbloom14]

@deadsole shes from nj i think she was raised in italy

[ingeBBBBBlove]

TAADAA !!!

[VexMakeUpGirl]

Hi Laura! Quick question, if I don't have sour cream can I substitute it with anything? Heard that yogurt could be a good option! Tks!!

[happychocolate42]

@MrLaith95 if you said that they are almost identical, then why don't you say that chef john stole Laura's recipe?! plus everyone make cheesecake that way!

[MrLaith95]

@happychocolate42 because chef john's recipe was uploaded a long time ago and no, not everyone makes cheesecake that way

[stonerockny]

Hi what sized cake mixer do you use?

[o0o0mimio0o0]

i made this and OMG my family honestly thought i bought it becuz how beautiful it looked lol

[dansan]

My cheesecake is easier to make and doesn't need the oven. It doesn't have eggs in it and it has fresh cheese! Although I would really love to try this one! ;)

[IreneOrtega24]

@dansan she has a recipe for no-bake cheesecake i think it's chocolate cheescake but neverthe less jus cool both recipes

[eternaldbskism]

how would you customize this cheesecake to be mocha/coffee flavored? my favorite is the tiramisu cheesecake from the cheesecake factory and i'd like to make something similar. thank you!

[Temmiklemmdemm]

In Germany we use curd for our cheesecake. I don't really like it, though.

[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.

[TheVagabondWolf]

I like ur cake

[Ec12299]

i've never made a cheesecake before, and i accidentally opened the pan before it cooled down, and the entire thing cracked down the center..lol fail on my part. :S

[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

[mrscantu37]

Will u put the ingredients in the side bar. Thanks

[xxMaameSimplyxx]

She Better Than Howcast

[LoesChoices]

You changed clothes

:o

[NekojinAmako]

@LoesChoices Because the cheesecake had to cool overnight.

[LoesChoices]

@NekojinAmako Oh I thought she said it didn't have to. Too bad, I failed, thanks for noticing :)

[NekojinAmako]

@LoesChoices We all have those days, no worries. =)

[Pruttomaten]

@LoesChoices it was the day afterwards,thats why she changed clothes..-.-

[schmilerzz]

@LoesChoices she left the cheesecake overnight in the fridge. it's a new day...

[Nusrah008]

@LoesChoices its the next day, thats why :P

[MsChichi98]

@LoesChoices yeah of course she did. She said she would cool it OVERNIGHT.

[Alovesbmw]

you are amazing!!!!!!!!! YOU look sooooooo gorgeous

[hahalaughfter]

Can you use shortening instead of butter????

[MsLolipopgirl98]

i made this and it turned out AMAZING.. thx laura :)

[22374656]

I just use cheese, condenced milk and some crushed cookies.

[Natsugami45]

what can use instead of cooking sprey? butter, flour

[nymphrenic]

I made this & it was perfection. I was shocked that it was **significantly** more delicious than the fancy and complicated New York Cheesecake I made several months ago, so your recipe is going to be my go-to cheesecake recipe from now on.

I did everything the same except I cooked it for one hour at 300 degrees, then opened the oven door, turned off the oven, closed oven door, then left cake in the oven for another hour. It got no cracks. I also didn't have lemon so I used clementine zest. :-)

[azianstothetop]

What is the quarter of sugar? What is it called?

[12deadbutterfly]

I meant TEXTURE :) @laura

[12deadbutterfly]

it turned out so goooooooooooooooooooood!!! my cousins from canada loved it ...though i still want to ask what if i dont want that tangy taste that comes frm sour cream ...cuz im frm PAKISTAN..and we prefer cheesecakes being absolutely sweet ....so what shuould i ad or leave out to make sure the exture remains the same but its completely sweet !! thank u and kinldy replyt ASAP!!

[SandraIthalla]

@12deadbutterfly heavy whipcream works, I use that :)

[bee6424]

if i add oreos into that mixture would it still bake the same ?

[stargirlvictoria]

@bee6424 probably....the texture would be different due to the cookies

[caijia1314]

god can you imagine how AWESOME and fat you would get it you married her *drool*

[coollikeice999]

@LauraVitalesKitchen When I made it there was a looot of lumps in it. Do you think there was anything I could've done wrong? I let the cream cheese be at room temperature all night.

[YleniasrDream]

can i do it even with german cream chees i dont know how sweet the amarican is

[nojunkjustbeauty]

so good and so easy to make :) :) :P

[irma223100]

i dont get it....you make AMAZING food and your not fat !! I LOVE YOU

[evildjinn9]

@irma223100 She goes to the gym, obviously

[LesnarNextBigThingF5]

@irma223100 cocksucker

[msfashionlover]

@irma223100 not all amazing food makes you fat

[Hayaserforeveer]

@irma223100

because she doesn't eat any of it, just cause she eats 1 or 2 bites on camera doesn't mean she devours the entire dish. hot dimes like her wouldn't dare eat the entire cake, not in 1 eat anyway, maybe over 2 months or so....and she's type has is rich & good looking and has a perfect lil life in perfect white/italian/"sopranos" suburbia, she gets to go out, walk, shop, be busy, hit the gym,....its not all that difficult to figure out the wealthy, they have it so easy

[Pokemonloversforever]

Always housewives are the best at cooking... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[GPUFF390]

i have a question wat name brand cookycrumbs did u used for this

[peace000000000000]

It looks amazing!

[MrStefanVidovic]

can i use 9x2 instead of 10x3?

[808PandaGurl]

I just made this and *OMG!!..* IT'S SoOoOO GOOD!! x)

[networksle]

[justso2011]

[Ramshasiddiqi]

OMG! I made it and was soo goodd!! Everyone loved it! :D Thanks for posting! ^_^

[kajenforever1]

i like your gray sweattterrr where'd u get it ?? :D

[sjbhatia1987]

Fuck this rather buy one from costco!

[JTuesday777]

I wish i could afford to make this lol, but at 1.60 each package of cream cheese, + all of the other ingredients (including the berries, here in Florida fresh berries cost like 3-4 dollars per pint), Just can't afford to spend 15-20$ on a single dessert :( Oh well, Guess I'll stick to my cheesecake bars that only require 1 pack of cream cheese. maybe ill make this on a special occassion.

[robmusic9]

boobsberries :)

[littleabigail123]

[AjamminjelloZ]

i really like your videos becuase on food network and such, they make everything so complicated. your videos look just as good and believable. its not hard to make! thanks!

[Toxic581]

PLEASE MAKE YOUR TV SHOW!!! UGH WHERE IS FOOD NETWORK AT !!!

[F3L8X5H3C1T]

[poppingskittles]

[kykyizzle]

Making this on Thursday for my hubby's bday on Friday!! No berries just a strawberry swirl instead!!!!

[iluvcupccakes]

ha ha



[iluvcupccakes]

i love her show!

[XIIVable]

Last time I made cheesecake I was really afraid of over-mixing the filling, so when I baked it, it had what I think were pieces of caramelized sugar that I didn't incorporate properly into the mixture. So is it okay if I use powdered sugar, so it will mix in better without me over-mixing it? PLEASE ANSWER! ANYBODY!

[hanadina123]

@XIIVable yes its okay i always do it with powdered sugar! it comes out perfect! :)

[ImmiBabeDawl]

She Just Said Little Non-Stick Cooking Oil Spray Crap N The Amount She Put O_O

[Lena3720]

chef laura can ths be baked in cupcake size?

[poppingskittles]

@Lena3720 yes! i have done it before

[Lena3720]

can ths be baked in cupcake size?

[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.

[gotentertainment]

why isnt she on the food network? shes so much better than half the shows on there

[FedericoLebron]

Hi :) I used you recipe, worked out great. Thanks!

[Keontae0756]

When I made this I used Vanilla Wafers instead of Graham Crack and It was very good

[MegaSayachan]

I HATE YOU ,YOU MAKE ME HUNGRY LIKE A MONKEY WHO TIRED TO TAKE AWAY THE BANANA THAT MONKEY IS LIKE ME WHEN IM HUNGRY AND I WANT TO HAVE AN OVEN SO I CAN MAKE RHIS A MILLION TIMES :)

[siowjenn]

@MegaSayachan I want an oven too =(

[gothheart13]

Shes sexy. I would watch her show late at night.....

[0XSmarty0X]

LAURA!! Wash your berries haha cuz they have been sprayed with chemicals and you definately dont want to east that!

[MsMoshi222]

Hi Laura, This is too big for just two, Can I make it with just half of the ingredients? pls reply asap (my boy friend's bday is coming soon) :)

[CK2012]

@MsMoshi222

you can use a smaller spring from pan cheese cakes come in all shapes and sizes. What i have done sometimes is put then in large muffin liners in muffin pans. As for the baking time it will a less just check on it until it gets that golden color (that one looked a bit too pale but that is just my opinion every chef has their preference of donenes) and has a firm to the touch but do not press too hard or you will puncture it.

[MsMoshi222]

@CK2012 I'm confused now!!

[CK2012]

@MsMoshi222

i am sorry i confused you.

[MrStefanVidovic]
