You won’t find a better cheesecake out there and there is no need to bake this cheesecake in a water bath, it does however need a 1 hour sitting time in the oven after baking
For Chocolate Chunk Cheesecake recipe see HERE
Notes from our test kitchen; feel free to use a graham cracker crust in place of the chocolate, I prefer the chocolate, plan ahead there is an overnight chilling time, a good cheesecake needs time to ‘ripen”
Before serving you can top with either cherry or blueberry pie filling or topping of choice
Servings 14-16

I misplaced my Kittencal cheesecake recipe and went to Recipezaar to retrieve it before I came here (#298498). Why is the lemon juice increased from 2 teaspoons to 2 Tablespoons? Also, I think you need to add the sour cream after the flour is mixed in. Questions aside, this is the best cheesecake recipe I’ve found.
I’ve enjoyed the recipes you’ve shared on Recipezaar! Thank you so much! I love your passion for food! I would love to share with you my cheesecake recipe sometime if you’d like – I call it “5 Stars.” Let me know if you’re interested in it! And of course you could post it for your viewers as well if you’d like. Once you make it I’ve no doubt you will hail it as the best cheesecake ever! Ok lol have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Caroline
