I wanted to try this recipe, was not able to…I needed to get the cream. Thanks for the tip on placing the dish in a pan of water…that works!

[...] While it’s tempting to spoon into the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven, exhibiting a little patience is in your own interest. The cake, after cooling and firming in the refrigerator for a little while, is creamy melt-in-the-mouth good with the pieces of Oreo cookies lending some bite. And why not, the recipe is based on my go-to cheesecake recipe. [...]

Hi Minal, Roasting the hazelnuts until they are fragrant would be a good idea. I love the flavour of Philadelphia cheesecake too much to want to substitute it. I know of people using part hung yoghurt and part Philly cheese for baked cheesecake recipes – I haven’t tried it though. I haven’t baked with mascarpone or ricotta for the same reason above.

Hi! Shaheen
Got hazelnuts — not roasted but plain. Should I just stick them in the oven fr a fe minutes to roast & release flavour? Or use them plain?
Suggest an alternative to Philadelphia cream cheese … I use the Mascrapone from Flanders for the unbaked versions — A few companies from North India have started making Mascrapone & Ricotta but I believe you cant bake with Mascrapone… it curdles? Also find Ricotta too have & not crumbly. You know or have tried anything but Philly? … I just find it too exhorbitantly priced… a big cheesecake requires 3 packs!
