Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Prepare in 13x9-inch Pan

Prepare as directed, increasing the graham crumbs to 1-1/2 cups and the butter to 1/3 cup, and decreasing the final cheesecake bake time to 40 min. or until center is almost set.

How to Avoid Cracked Cheesecakes

After adding the eggs, be careful not to overbeat the batter since this can cause the baked cheesecake to crack.

Awesome cheesecake. Perfect for a spring or summer celebration. Mine cracked a bit so I topped with Cool Whip. I also added some orange liqueur with the zest and juices.

This is the best cheesecake recipe ever. I have made it many times - always to rave reviews. I add a little more zest and juice - even better. Enjoy!

I made this last spring and will be making it again w/in a few days. Somehow it seems perfect for springtime and Easter. One change I make is the crust. Plain graham cracker crusts are boring to my family's taste buds. I make a shortbread crust and toss orange zest into it as well. There's no doubt in my mind that it's an improvement. If the original recipe didn't suggest that boring crust, I would probably rate this w/ 5 stars.

I found this recipe many years ago in a magazine. Since then it has been one of our favorites! My husband used to make it at home after culinary school. We always get great compliments every time we make it. The combination of citruses and cream cheese make a delightful flavor. I even add twice the juices and zest...this one's a keeper!!!

This is an excellent recipe and I always get tons of compliments when I make it. It's a little labor intensive but definitely worth the work. It's very light and the flavor is just amazing! I always get asked to bring it to gatherings.

This recipe was fantastic! I made it for my boyfriend and he loved it. It's very creamy and the texture was great. I used two bricks regular cream cheese and two of the reduced fat cream cheese, and it was great. I also used double the amount of each juice for extra taste. The only problem I had was that my crust stuck to the bottom of my springform pan, next time I'll try using parchment paper.

I made this for Christmas about 3 years ago. It was a hit! Everyone loved it! It was worth the time it took making it and everyone wanted me to make it for the next holiday get together. The citrus' blended very well, and the taste was out of this world! I highly recommend you making this.
