    Just made this and it came out fabulous. I used chocolate graham crackers for the crust but I didn't crush them down far enough, or chop the hazelnuts into small enough pieces. It was still fine though, just a little thick. This was my first cheesecake attempt and it took me forever but it was well worth it :) I'll be trying out more of your recipes now.

    You guys are too funny, I just had an image of Ahmed being the Pied Piper of desserts, trailing behind the sweet smells..
    This is a great recipe, the only way I'm allowed my caffeine is when I sneak it in my baking like this, my husband loves cheesecake will have to save this for a special occasion-
