In reply to traveler. I'm so sorry to hear this happened. Did you make any alterations to the recipe? Reducing the cream cheese will reduce the flavor in the cheesecake bars. Is it possible they were over-baked? That could hurt the flavor. :(

I usually like the recipes that you provide,but Not this one
NO FLAVOR!!!
I feel the crust should be doubled and the cream cheese reduced to
2 bars. Maybe then there would be a difference.

I love the other recipes that you provide,but Not this one.
No flavor!!!
It was difficult using 4 bars of cream cheese (mixing wise).I think it would have been
better in doubling the crust and use 2 bars of cream cheese.

In reply to Catrina Shipley. Hi Catrina! I haven't personally done it, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. :)

In reply to Eric. Hi Eric! I normally let them cool on the countertop for an hour or so before refrigerating. :)

Hi Sam another question, how long do I wait once I remove from stove to place in fridge?

In reply to Eric. Hi Eric! I like to use enough that it goes up the sides of the pan. This helps keep the cheesecake from cracking as the parchment will allow it to constrict as it cools. :)

Hi Sam should the parchment paper go all the way up the sides or just a bit ?

In reply to Vanessa. Hi Vanessa! We're not quite sure how this cheesecake recipe would do with stacking. You might be better off with our funfetti cake, which should work for what you're planning to do. For that cheesecake flavor, you could always use our cream cheese frosting or follow the method from our cheesecake stuffed cake. Hope this is helpful!

Would I need to adjust this recipe for a 3 tier 6” round cake? Looking to make two for my twins.

So I did an oops over Easter and erroneously used the entire cake mix instead of the 1 cup as specified. I was so worried it was ruined - was I wrong! It was the favorite dessert at family dinner and I already have a request to make another. It turned out thicker than the original recipe and it was soooo fluffy! The taste was still amazing. It was a happy mistake

In reply to Tanya. Hi Tanya! As long as you don't overfill the pan it will work just fine. Your bake time will vary. :)

Can I make this in a 9×9 pan instead of 9×13?

Hello,

Can you put these in a water bath? Would it work for this recipe?

In reply to Amy. Hi Amy! I actually have a mini cheesecake recipe that you could use as a guide for baking times and methods. :)

Hi!

So I made these before & they were AMAZING! I want to change it up a bit and try these as individual cheesecake bites using a standard muffin pan. Do I need to reduce cooking time because they will be more “muffin/cupcake” style than the actual cake?

My plan was to make the crust, put it in the bottom of the muffin liner & then spoon the filling on top, as we do with the cake. Does that sound ok?

Thanks!
Amy

Do you use the filling in the Oreos or do you remove it? Thank you!
