kraft kitchens tips

Size-Wise

Need a sweet treat to serve a crowd? Try this chocolatey dessert! Since it serves 16 people, it easily fits the bill.

Variation

Substitute foil-lined 13x9-inch pan for the springform pan. Mix crust ingredients as directed. Press onto bottom of prepared pan; cover with prepared filling. Bake 45 min. or until centre is almost set. Cool completely in pan. Spread with Cool Whip mixture. Refrigerate 4 hours. Use ends of foil to remove cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.

How to Shave Chocolate

Warm 1 oz. chocolate by microwaving it on HIGH for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate piece steadily, then draw a vegetable peeler slowly over the chocolate to form shavings. Repeat with remaining chocolate piece.

Was very good, but one thing I didnt really like was the topping. Its a very nice cheesecake but with cream cheese also in the topping, I found it just too heavy. If I made this again I would just make a chocolate whipped cream/cool whip topping.

My husband said it was the best cheesecake he's ever had.. It's just as good if not better than Cheesecake cafe's cheese cake!

I have made a lot of cheesecakes in my time, but typically don't eat it myself. This one is exceptional and I clearly ate more of it than I should have. Really great feedback by everyone who tried it! It's on my 'fav' list now!

This was my first cheesecake I have ever baked and wow was delish. Very rich, but every mouthful is amazing. My only complaint is how expensive it can be to buy all the ingredients, especially needing 4 blocks of cream cheese. Next time Ill wait till cream cheese is on sale :)

I made this over the weekend, everyone loved it, unfortunatly I found it on the .com site of kraft and measurements were a bit different. I do not like white chocolate so used semi sweet chocolate all the way round. It cooked lovely (in my oven 45 mins was lots and no cracks) I always use a water bath as well. Will certainly make this again

Amazing! I made them the same but in muffin pans to make individuals servings and they were a hit! I let the cake cool only for 30 minutes before adding the whipped toppings and the pastry just melted in your mouth.

My white chocolate was bad so I used bittersweet chocolate for the main part and I used orange flavoured chocolate for the whipped topping, delicious!!
