...and I mean stiff as in doesn't mush when sliced. Although a loaded cake sounds good, some of the consumers will be under aged.

I had been using the one on the back of the cream cheese package-new york style, but it is a bear to slice and I end up passing out globs of mush. I'd do better with a spoon than a knife. It's always GOOD, just not attractively presented.
I am okay with sugar and high fat. It is a special treat and not a staple.
how do the stores make it so that it slices? maybe I just need to get it almost frozen first?

there is one in the BYC cook book -'cheese cake with pastry crust', have any of you tried that?
Ingredients are expensive for me right now, and I am cautious about trying something new.
Any comments or ideas will be appreciated!
thanks so much.

He loved his birthday cake! It cut well and was wonderful. He said,"m-m-m-MMM!" and my son said it was"delightful!
Oh, and he did not see his shadow this morning, so it will only be another eight weeks of winter in Pa.

Thank you. I will give it a try tonight, and hopefully I will be able to give someone a 'pretty' slice of birthday cake tomorrow!

I found this recipe in the Simple and Delicious. My family loves it.

2 pkgs. cream cheese
1/2c. sugar
1/4t. vanilla
2 eggs
1 graham cracker crust

Bring the cream cheese to room tempature. Put in a mixing bowl and add the sugar. Mix together til light. Add the vanilla and eggs. Mix well.
Pour into graham cracker crust.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set.
Let cool and then serve.

I will add cherry or blueberry pie filling to make it a swirl cheese cake, but that takes much longer to bake.
 
I got this recipe off the web some where several years ago...it's a really good recipe.

Best Ever Sour Cream Cheesecake

3 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter-melted
Note-I used 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and added the butter a little at a time until I felt the crust was right. I don't like a really thick crust.

Filling:
5 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup sour cream
5 eggs-well beaten

Place a baking pan of water on the oven rack right below the rack that the cheesecake will be on. Preheat oven to 300º

Make crust: In medium bowl, with hands or back of spoon, mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter until they are well combined. Press mixture on bottom and sides of 9-inch springform pan, to form a rim all around. Refrigerate until needed.

Make filling: In large bowl of electric mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, flour, lemon juice and vanilla. Beat at medium low speed just until creamy and well blended. Add sour cream, beating just until well combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in eggs, just until well combined. Pour into crust-lined pan.

Bake at 300º for 2 hours. Cheesecake should be lightly browned and puffed up all around. Turn oven off and crack the door open and let cheesecake rest undisturbed for 1 hour.

Remove from oven to wire rack and with a sharp thin knife loosen crust from sides of pan. Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate overnight.

Makes approximately 20 servings.

Thank you everyone!
I may have to resend the statement about cheese cakes not being a staple! I think I will try them all out, as cream cheese goes on sale.
I think I will try Katy's first, being that it is a birthday cake, and calories don't count on birthdays.

and then...well, I got eggs! may as well eat them wrapped in cheese cake.
thanks again all!

Katy's recipe was a nice light cake. Not too sweet and it cut very nicely. I used 1 1/2 tbsp of corn starch instead of 3 tbsp flour so I could make myself a small cake (flour allergies) but it was wonderful! and will be breakfast tomorrow too!
