Karen's Cheesecake - I am so bummed
I am making Karen's awesome cheesecake recipe. Made it with macadamia nuts and that part went great. What didn't go great is that apparently my oven burns hot - so the first 10 minutes at 500 degrees has left me with a pretty dark top (not quite black, but who knows how much darker it will get in the next 90 minutes). I can smell the "burn" and am terribly disappointed. I am not even sure if you can eat a burned cheesecake (if you wanted to I mean). I made a back up one earlier, it's okay, but no crust and not as great as I imagined Karen's to be. This was the main dessert for a party tomorrow. I might consider trying again, but it's an expensive mistake! Maybe cook it at 400 degrees..... Man this makes me mad at myself - I am not usually this inept in the kitchen. I will say, though, the macadamia crust fixings are awesome so it is not a total loss...
