I’m so pleased with the effortless results and quality that comes with this pan

My first cheesecake experience wasn’t perfect and needs lots of tweaking but the right tools make it delightful!

I used this recipe, I never follow directions correctly,(don’t let your cc sit for 5 hours, pop that sucker in the freezer)I do my own thing, when you are almost 41 years old you realize that it’s perfectly acceptable and should be encouraged.

– I used a sugar cookie mix for the crust, omitted the egg and which was a good choice because it didn’t puff up but should have only used 2 tbs. of butter/margarine so it would have been a more crumbly crust.

-Dairy ingredients should always be room temperature before baking but the excitement of a new kitchen tool overtook me!

-Kitchenaid’s are powerful, over mixing is easy to do, trust me!

It was so much fun I’m already planning an Oreo version:)
