I just made this cheesecake and it looks beautiful, but it is still really jiggly?? I am really hoping that it sets up more. I followed the direction to a T, and now I am very nervous that the center will be too soft. Help, has anyone made this cheescake yet? I would like some input PLEASE

I LOVE this recipe. Yes, it takes a VERY long time to set, but once it's completely cool and you stick it in the refrigerator it should be totally solid. The cheesecake always comes out cracked, but tastes fantastic and garners rave reviews from everyone. I also press a graham cracker crust into the bottom of the pan to make it yummier.

My dad has this recipe and he totally thinks its a secret lol. He uses only name brand ingredients and Wondra instead of flour and a homemade graham cracker crust... He is required to bring it all family gatherings and my children who are all under age 10 prefer this over regular cake on their birthdays...

I love this recipe and everyone loves my cheesecakes.
The base recipe is excellent and doesn't require a bottom crust, but I have expanded it over the years with different crusts, toppings and add-ins. This year I crushed up some Chips Ahoy brand Reeces cookies for the crust and added peanut butter and milk chocolate chips.
The cheesecake does need to be refrigerated overnight to firm it up.
I also slit this recipe into 2 smaller cakes.
