" OM-Gosh!!!! This was very simple to make, I made it last night for my New Years dinner desert today and it was a big hit I already was asked to make again for next Friday's church meeting! THIS IS A CROWD PLEASER! I too used heavy duty non-stick foil & it works like a charm... Happy New Year "

I've made this twice now. It's delicious & very easy to make. I warm up the jam to make it easier to swirl. I know some people have had a hard time getting off of the foil, but I didn't have that problem. I use heavy duty foil, maybe that makes a difference. Definitely a keeper!

If you warm up the strawberry jam just a little it is easier to swirl..

Delicious cheesecake! Need some advice...had a lot of trouble getting the crust off of the foil. Is it best to spray the foil with nonstick spray or simply bake the cheesecake in the 13x9 glass pan? Also, the Jelly did not really "swirl" into the cheesecake...kind of stayed lumpy, so there are a couple of cracks around the Jelly. I am serving the cheesecake at an office luncheon today! Excited to see what people say about it! :)

I added a 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple to the recipe and some of my guests have said it's the best darn cheesecake they've had anywhere in the world.

This was perfect and taste like the real NY cheesecake. The only thing I would do different is instead of swirling the jam in the mix, I would make it plain and top with a cherry pie filling right before serving. If you don't eat it right away, the jam makes the cheesecake watery.
