Best cheesecake ever!! My whole family says it is their favorite and asks me to make it for their birthday, Christmas, hunting season….every family get together. If I might add, using Philadelphia Cream Cheese really provides a much creamier flavor and perfect texture compared to generic cream cheese. I will never use generic cream cheese for cheesecake again.

In reply to Cailyn. Hi Cailyn! This could be baked in a 9 x 13, but it may make a little more batter than you need so just make sure you don't overfill your pan. Enjoy! :)

Good morning! Would this cheesecake work if I baked it in a 9 by 13 pan ( so I can cut it up into many small bite size cheesecake) instead of a spring form pan?

In reply to Dennis Kennedy. Hi Dennis! While it's not necessary, you certainly can, and I would recommend it. It adds a great flavor to the cheesecake. :)

I’ve only made a handful of cheesecakes in my life and this by far is the best! I’ve now made it twice in the same week

In reply to Sam. Could this be made without pecans? There is a nut allergy in our family but I have a request for turtle cheesecake.

In reply to Erin. Hi Erin! It would be quite tedious, but I suppose it is possible. :)

Do you think this could be made into small cheesecakes (in a muffin tin) instead of a large one? If so how long would you suggest to bake? Thanks

In reply to Kevin. Hi Kevin! You could bake the crust a little bit longer. The nature of the graham cracker crust will be that it will be firm but slightly crumbly.
