I made this for my work supervisor's birthday. She loves German chocolate desserts and is a wonderful person to work with. It's soooo good. I only used 1/4 tsp of almond extract as I find it to be a really strong flavor. I also didn't use a water bath. I baked it for 25 minutes and it came out perfect!
Made this for my husbands birthday. It was very good, did not change a thing.
I find that if you separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the egg whites into firm peaks and then fold them into the mixed batter you a much lighter cheese cake.
Amazing flavor and a compliment to any meal. The almond extract is the winning flavor here. Yumm!
Awesome. I did not bake it in a water bath and I only baked it for 35 minutes. It was perfect. I will definitely make it again sometime.
This takes a bit of time to make but it is well worth it. Totally decadent and rich in flavor. It comes out perfectly. I will make this many, many times to my family and friends delight.
I was so impressed with this recipe! It came out PERFECT!!!! Would make again! and again and again and again! Ha ha! It's my new favorite cheesecake now :D
