Yeah, I'm back!!! Been busy baking the last couple of days: some cookies for friends and family and the TWD Tall and Creamy Cheesecake for my family and me to enjoy on Second Christmasday.
The Tall and Creamy Cheesecake was picked by Anne of Anne Strawberry and what a great pick it was! We all loved it!! A whole kilo of creamcheese went into this cheesecake so it was quite heavy, but it still tasted very light!
I used 1 cup cream and 1/3 cup sour cream. When the cake was ready to go into the oven I found out that my springform wouldn't fit into the other pan, so I had to bake the cheesecake without a waterbath. I still baked it for 1 1/2 hours and it looked great!!
Since I had half a cake leftover I took it to work yesterday, my coworkers also enjoyed it!
I must say this was the best cheesecake I ever ate!! Yum!!!

I loved this recipe. I, too, took it to work. Everyone loved it.
We really enjoyed this cheesecake at our house too. DELICIOUS! I can't wait to make it again with key limes.
I will definitely use this recipe as my base in the future. We loved it also! Great job!!
This is crazy tall and beautiful! Mine didn't brown on top, but I made 4 minis. It was all delicious!
I loved the cheesecake too! It was so yummy. I like how yours is actually tall, mine was more like a mini..haha
Your cheesecake is so tall and beautiful. I'm really glad to know it works without the water bath, since that gave me such a headache!
Great job.

That looks wonderful! But yikes - the list of things-to-bake is a little overwhelming. It's got me worrying... :)
The cheesecake sounds great! I took a pass on this one since I'm with a bunch of cheesecake-haters, but I'm looking forward to making it in the future when it will be appreciated!
I love your Cheesecake! It looks perfect! Well done! I love, love, LOVED this recipe. It's my new favourite! MIne didn't get all browned on top either.
Yep, yours looks a lot like mine. I can't wait to taste mine. It is still refrigerating. Maybe I'll have a slice for breakfast this morning. I bet yours was delicious!
No water bath and it still looks that fabulous? Great job!! It looks really delicious and it was obviously enjoyed by everyone. Way to go.
Great looking cake!
Best wishes for 2009!

I am so glad to know that the cheesecake comes out beautifully without the water bath! Looks delicious!
Looks great and YUM! Mine turned out great, too, despite a little sinking in the cake. Still tasted great! Glad you liked it.

I love the dad rating, that's awesome. It looks absolutely wonderful! Have a happy new year!
Your cheesecake looks amazing! Glad you didn't have any problems not using a water bath. Sharing is definitely the way to go with a big dessert like this one.
We loved it too and thought it was the best cheesecake! It is tough finding pans to fit and work for water baths sometimes, but if you don't mind tht pretty golden look then all is good with the world. Great job!
Your cheesecake looks so tall and beautiful! Great job!
I am glad you enjoyed this...it's indeed tall! I cannot wait to read about your lemon cookies! YUM
Yum! Good thing Dad liked it!
Looks great to me. Glad y'all liked it.
Adorable picture of your dad! I also loved this cheesecake. So freaking good. In fact my hubs has repeatedly asked me to make it again. I really wanna try the orange variation now!

Yum! Your cheesecake looks great! That kilo of cream cheese is scary - I had to shut my eyes on that one.
