Definitely try 100g of butter for the base, 125g is too buttery. Otherwise a lovely cake, easy, tastes great and looks like the picture. If you want to do an easy "water bath" for baked cheesecakes, just put a dish of water on the oven tray underneath your cake. Now I need to stop cooking! I've made this cheesecake, the chocolate Christmas brownies under the Christmas Baking section and a fruit pudding, was going to do fruit mince pies as well but I think they can wait til after Christmas! How am I meant to lose weight with all this yummy food?!!
My family loved this as a Christmas lunch dessert. My only reservation is that after cooking I discovered a thick layer of oil on the bottom of the oven. It could have come from the whole cake, but I suspect it was the butter in the base. Certainly there was a buttery residue on the plate that I rested cake on while it was in the 'fridge. So next time I will experiment with less butter - 125g seems like a lot. Anyway, the cake was absolutely scrumptious!
i made this cheesecake and everyone loved it!! it was easy to make and absolutely delicious!!
First baked cheesecake I had ever prepared - I found it relatively easy to do! Made it for Christmas 2 years ago and my friends are STILL talking about it! So rich and delicious!!
I agree with all the previous comments - tasted great, looked great, was easy to prepare and baked perfectly! Just be sure to limit yourself to small slices as it is a tad rich! :)
I should also mention that I used half light and half regular cream cheese, and topped it with shaved dark chocolate and extra cherries. Was great!
Amazing taste, & looks great, especially when garnished. I made Chocolate lattice, to put on top. Had guests asking for the recipie.
very very tasty, used morello cherries and was still delicious. looked even better than the picture, and didn't crack like some baked cheesecakes.
This was fabulous! Easy, able to be prepared in advance, and got rave reviews from the consumers. I used half low-fat cream cheese and half full fat, and choc ripple biscuits for the base (didn't need all the butter for the base). I let it cool for half an hour with the oven door closed, then cracked it open for an hour before taking it out and putting it in the fridge overnight. There were two small cracks in the top, but nothing terrible that couldn't be disguised with a few cherries.
Yum! I used granita biscutis for the base
my beater broke so i just put the cream cheese and sugar into a saucepan on low heat while stirring till soft and it did it beautifully
I used raspberries instead on cherries as i had them in the freezer, and it worked well. I made the mistake by not using a spring-form pan so it was a little difficult to remove but it worked out fine in the end.
This cheesecake was very easy to make and tasted delicious, I used morello cherries & had everything in the pantry, my lunch guests loved it.
This is a beautiful moist cheesecake! I had friends going back for seconds! Really easy to make and definitely one that I'll be making again.
This was the first cheesecake I had ever made, and thought when cooking I probably shouldn't be risking Christmas desert on something I've never done before.... but it was a success - very easy, I got compliments galore and it tasted great. Just what we wanted on Christmas
Highly recommend!! Easy, cheap and scrumptious!! A hit on Christmas day!
Fantastic recipe and my cheesecake actually looked like the one in the picture! Tasted amazing too!
I loved this cheesecake,had it for christmas day. Everyone loved it and I enjoyed making it. I also soaked the fresh cherries in some triple sec. You could use almost any liquior. Wil make again.
Very easy to cook and didnt crack. Compliments galore when I made it and I'm no cook Will make again
Best and simplest cheesecake - used morello cherries and they worked great - will be on table on Christmas Day for sure!
This was my first cheesecake and it was awesome! You can use fresh cherries or morellos will make a great substitute when the fresh ones are out of season. Yummy.
soooo YUM!! looked just like in the picture and tasted divine! was very easy too, which is a must for me, coz i am not that good with sweet things. 2 big thumbs up, will definitely make this again :)
Chocolate and cherries - 2 of my favourite things! I made it for a dinner party. It looked fancy but was actually really easy - and so good to be able to make it the day before - it really too the pressure off the preparation for dinner.

COLUMBIA - Gov. Mark Sanford apologized to his cabinet today but did not resign - comparing himself to the biblical figure of David.
(David) fell mightily, he fell in very significant ways, but was able to pick up the pieces, Sanford said at the start of the meeting. It began with a larger quest well expressed in the book of Psalms on the notion of humility.
Sanford apologized directly to SLED Director Reggie Lloyd for putting you in a bad place with regard to SLED and the members of SLED, leaving as I have.
And he apologized directly to Commerce Secretary Joe Taylor for putting yall in a bad spot for what was a legitimate trip.

Critical Essay by Anthony Burgess
SOURCE: "Alex on Today's Youth: Creeching Golosses and Filthy Toofles!," in The New York Times Book Review, May 31, 1987, pp. 7, 18.
In the following essay, which takes the form of an interview conducted by Burgess with Alex, the main character of A Clockwork Orange, Burgess examines Alex's personality by having him critique contemporary youth culture.
This month W. W. Norton & Company published a new edition of A Clockwork Orange, including the 21st chapter, which had appeared in the British edition in 1962 but was dropped from the first American version. In that chapter, the teen-age thug Alex, who is the narrator, tires of violence and resolves to turn to a new way of life. Anthony Burgess has had a running argument with the publisher ever since about that chapter, and has expressed strong feelings about Stanley Kubrick's film, which followed the American version of the book. Now, to mark the 25th anniversary of the novel's publication, The Book Review asked Mr. Burgess to interview the mature Alex about today's youth. The author has always insisted that a reader of the novel will quickly comprehend Alex's peculiar language, which includes a number of words adapted from Russian. Since the interview is rather brief, however, a small glossary is provided here of terms the meaning of which might not be obvious from the context in which they are first used.
|a narcotic
|peace or the world
|naked, stripped
|laugh, ridicule
|a narcotic
|tongue, language
[Burgess]: Alex—if I may call you that—there's always been some doubt about your surname.
[Alex]: Never gave it, brother, to no manner of chelloveck. The gloopy shoot that put me in the sinny—Lubric or Public or some such like naz—he gave me like two, Alex Burgess and Alex Delarge. That's because of me govoreeting about being Alexander the Big. Then he forgets. Bad like editing. Call me Alex.
In 1962, when the book about you was published, you were a nadsat, teen-ager that is. Now you must be about 42 or 3 or 4. Settled down, finished with the ultraviolence. Raising a family. Pillar of society.
For you, little bratty, I am what I was. I am in a book and I do not sdacha. Fixed like, ah yes, forever and never, allmen.
Pick up the old slovar some time, my brother. Shonary, Angleruss.
Fixed forever and never, allmen, as you skaz. Eternal type of molodoy aggression. And yet there are changes. The youth, or molodoy, of the space age is not what it was in 1962.
That old kneeg was in the space age. In it there are chellovecks on the old Luna. It was like pathetic.
And pathetic too. The jeezny of all chellovecks is like pathetic and very pathetic. Because they are always the same. Because they are mekansky applesins. That being the Russ like naz of the kneeg written by Burgess or F. Alexander or whatever his naz is or was. And you would know what?
To put it plain, your opinion of youth today.
They are not like what I was. No, verily not. Because they have not one veshch in their gullivers. To Ludwig van and his like they give shooms of lipmusic prrrr. It is all with them guitars and creeching golosses. And their platties. It is all jeans and filthy toofles. And tisshuts.
What are tisshuts?
They are like worn on the upper plott and there is writing on them like HARVARD and CALIFORNIA and GIVE IT ME I WANT IT. Very gloopy. And they do not have one missal in their gullivers.
Meaning not one thought in their heads?
That is what I skazzed.
But they have many. They are against war and all for universal peace and banning nuclear missiles. They speak of love and human equality.
What they want they will not get. There will always be voina and no mir, like old Lion Trotsky or it may be Tolstoy was always govoreeting about. Chellovecks are all like very aggressive and do not sdach. The Russkies have a slovo for it, two really, and it is prirozhdyonnuiy grekh.
Let me consult my ah Angleruss slovar. Odna minuta—it says here original sin.
Real dobby. Original sin is good and very good.
The young say their elders have ruined the world, and when they are not trying to rebuild that ruined world with love and fellowship they withdraw from it with hallucinogens.
That is a hard slovo, O my brother.
I mean that they take drugs and are transported to heavenly regions of the inner mind.
Meaning that they are in touch with Bog and all his holy angels and the other veshches?
Not God, in whom most no longer believe. Though some of them follow the one you would call the bearded nagoy chelloveck who died on the Cross. Indeed, they grow beards and try to look like Him.
What I skaz is that these veshches, like drencrom and vellocet, are not good for a malchick. To doomat about Bog and to itty off into the land and burble about lubbilubbing every chelloveck has to sap all the goodness and strength out of a malchick.
Do you consider the youth of today to be more violent than the generation to which you belong?
Not more. Those that want deng or cutter to koopat their teeny malenky sniffs and snorts and jabs in the rooker must use the old ultraviolence to take and like grab. But such are not seelny, strong that is. The ultraviolence is less now of the molodoy than of terror by air and land, O my brother. Bombs and guns, they were not ever my own veshch. Very cowardly, for it is ultraviolence from a long long long like way off. Dratsing is not what it was. It was better in what they call like the Dark Ages before they put on the like lights. The old britva and the nozh. Rooker to rooker. Your own red red krovvy as well as the krovvy of the chelloveck you are dratsing. And then there was another veshch I do not pomnit the slovo of all that good.
Style, you mean style?
Style and again style. Style we had. And the red krovvy did not get onto your platties if you had style. For it was style of the nogas and the rookers and the plott, as it might be tansivatting.
That is the slovo that would not like come into my gulliver. The yahzick of the kvadrats I could never get my yahzick round.
Kvadrat means quadratic, doesn't it? And that means square. By using such terminology you give away your age. But let us return to this business of the music preferred by the young.
It is not music. It is gromky and bezoomny and like for little children. There is no music like Ludwig van and Benjy Britt and Felix M. and Wolfgang Amadeus. And what the molodoy of now slooshy is not music. And the slovos are like pathetic. What I say to these molodoy chellovecks is that they must like grow up. They must not smeck at what is gone behind. Because that is all we have.
You seem to me to be ah govoreeting about the preservation of the past. You seem to me also to be ah skazzing that artistic creation is a great good. And yet you ah jeezny was dedicated to destruction.
It was the bolshy great force of the jeezny that was in myself. I was molodoy, and none had taught me to make. So break was the veshch I had to do. But I get over it.
You get over it? Meaning you grow up?
There is no kneeg about me growing up. That is not writ by no matter of writing chelloveck. They viddy me as a very ultraviolent malchick and not more, ah no. To be young is to be nothing. That is why I skaz to the molodoy of now that they must not be as they are. What they have to do is to like grow up.
Can you transport yourself to the future, or rather your part in the future—which has not been written about and, I speak with some authority, never will be—and deliver a final message to the world?
In the yahzick of the mir at like large?
Yesli bi mozhno.
Your Russian is deplorable, but I take it you mean "if possible." Very well. I speak as a taxpaying adult. And I say that the only thing that counts is the human capacity for moral choice. No, I will not speak. I will sing. I will take Beethoven's setting of Schiller's "Ode to Joy" in the final movement of the glorious Ninth, and I will put my own slovos, I mean words, to it:
Being young's sort of sickness,
Measles, mumps or chicken pox.
Gather all your toys together,
Lock them in a wooden box.
That means tolchocks, crasting and dratsing,
All of the things that suit a boy.
When you build instead of busting,
You can start your Ode to Joy.
Thank you, Mr. ah—
Bog blast you, I haven't finished.
Do not be a clockwork orange,
Freedom has a lovely voice.
Here is good and there is badness,
Look on both, then take your choice.
Sweet in juice and hue and aroma,
Let's not be changed to fruit machines.
Choice is free but seldom easy—
That's what human freedom means.
Gloopy sort of slovos, really. Grahzny sort of world. May I now, O my brother, return to the pages of my book?
You never left them.
