I hear you about the thickening, I just always find myself leaving or eating around the cake layer when I have a cheesecake that has one. Maybe when we make one of the other cheesecakes I'll suck it up and see if I can't change my mind. This one didn't lose a lot of syrup/water, so I got lucky.Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837602358691420117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286667600529626603.post-59888496489689011442016-01-29T12:00:00.948-08:002016-01-29T12:00:00.948-08:00the reason for the cake layer is to absorb any of ...the reason for the cake layer is to absorb any of the leaking syrup as i don't like to add thickener to the filling though when i make cheesecakes without a base i sometimes either add a bit of cornstarch or replace each whole egg with 2 yolks.<br /><br />love the photo of you and the cake--you have such a sweet smile!<br />Rose Levy Beranbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272822321509616109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6286667600529626603.post-16702877685253063362016-01-29T11:33:57.978-08:002016-01-29T11:33:57.978-08:00And I didn't do a thing!

I'm glad to learn that cheesecakes don't need to have a crust. I only thought the NY style one I had in Miami Beach was like that. Regardless, your cheesecake looks quite nice. You really got the sides smooth.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092314449327044507noreply@blogger.com
