I do not like "dense" cheesecake -- and this is so purely decadent.
I added almost a quarter cup of lemon juice, because I like more tartness. And I did put the springform pan in a baking dish and added a tea kettle of boiling water before the initial 20-minute baking. Someone told me years ago that prevented the infamous "cheesecake crack."
Do not worry if it seems "uncooked." I followed the times exactly, it looked very loose when I took it from the oven, but it was perfectly formed after the 24-hour chill in the refrigerator.
I had a "family" cheesecake recipe which I lost in a move. . . and this is even better.
