Hahaha! Oh my gosh that’s a hilarious story, but also so sad that your cheesecake got flambed! Hopefully you’ll get a really good cheesecake this year! 😉

I made this recipe a couple of years ago turned off the heat when cooked and left it in the oven over night. The next morning (Christmas morning) my husband turned on the oven to make breakfast forgetting the cake was still in there. When he finally smelled it burning he opens the door to a cheesecake fully engulfed in flames!! After a bit of panic on my part we cut off the charcoal and covered the rest in ganache. It was delish if a bit skimpy on the cheese part. I hope this year it will be better. I’m aiming for no flambe I really love this cheesecake! So tasty

Hi I don’t have a springform pan. Do you think it will work in a glass baking dish?

I made it on the weekend for a dinner party, went over extremely well. I only had a 9″ spring form, it worked fine, crust just thicker. This cake weighed a ton, could not believe how heavy it was lol. Great recipe, will definitely make this again!

I have this in the oven now. This is the 3rd time I have made it, so awesome!! didn’t have enough graham crum bso I beat up some Dad’s cookies with my rubber hammer and used those; added one more Tbsp. butter to crust. I find ganache will thicken as it cools, for those who say the ganache is runny.

I was born born and raised in Nanaimo. Lived in Nanaimo for 55 yrs. We recently moved north of Nanaimo but remain on Vancouver Island. Just a 20 min. drive to Nanaimo. I’ve ate plenty of nanaimo bar in my life and our 4 boys growing up were always excited to gobble up the bars. I look forward to making the cheesecake Thanks for sharing
