My favorite cheese cake is one that I make myself.
Make a graham cracker crust with about 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cups sugar and 4tbsp melted butter. Mix it all together and press into bottom and sides of spring form pan. Place pan into preheated oven (350 degrees).
Mix together 4 8 oz packages of cream cheese
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1Tbsp vanilla
Pour into graham cracker crust and return to oven and bake for approx 1 hour. Cheese cake is done when the center just slightly jiggles when shaken.
Other hints.
* sometimes while baking, the top of the cheese cake will crack. If this is a concern, place pan of boiling water on shelf under cheesecake while baking.
* If you desire other flavors of cheesecake, try one of these:
Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips
stir in 1 cup of any fresh or frozen fruit (May desire to add a little extra sugar)
*omit vanilla and add 2Tbsp of key lime juice.
In the fall, add chopped pecans and a little cinnamon to the crust.
add 2 tsp cinnamon to batter and top with sliced apples and pecan pieces that you have tossed in cinnamon-sugar before baking. This may need to bake a little longer and when done, a knife will come out from center of cheese cake clean.

My favorite cheesecake is called "Chocolate Coconut Cream", topped with whip cream, garnished with chocolate sauce & coconut flakes.
It's like the marriage of an almond joy & cheesecake.
It has chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts.
If you like coconut & almonds covered in milk chocolate and cheesecake you are sure to like my favorite cheesecake.

New York Style cheescake with the Oreo crust with fresh strawberries.....because it's less dense than other cheesecakes, the oreo crust kicks up the flavor and the strawberries add some freshness.

If you can actually get me to eat a slice of cheesecake, it better be lemon, with no toppings.
