White Wine Cheesecake - Baked Cheesecakes #1

I heard about this cheesecake from Reese and she told me how delicious it was. When I finally had a bottle of opened white wine I decided to try it out for myself.

It was still a boozy even after baking for 1 hour, so the kids were forbidden to eat.

I liked it but my hubby was only ok because he wanted it to be more cheesy. My MIL found it too boozy. So, it's pretty much up to the individual. But I'd say the texture is absolutely beautiful. Smooth and creamy but light at the same time.

My cake cracked because I haven't been baking cheesecake for a while and forgot that I had to cool it in the oven, LOL. It was getting late and I just put it under the fan.... 30 minutes later, the middle cracked.

It's not hard to hide cracks.. just decorate it :p
