It's a....Cheesus cake

[dixiegrrrrl]

The Arizona Republic reports that when the family in Scottsdale, Ariz., pulled their (cheesecake) dessert out of the oven, it cracked as it cooled and formed a crucifix.

The family members, who have not given their names publicly, say the crucifix is a message.
The family calls it a “holiday miracle.”

6. The message straight from Jeeezus:

learn to cook and quit wasting precious food.

7. It's Jesus' way of telling you to have your oven or your timer checked out -

You either left the cheesecake in too long, or the temperature runs too high in your oven.
There is also the possibility that you over-beat the batter before you poured it.

I've had custards and cheesecakes "crack" or split into stars, half-moons, and crucifixes when I've either left them cook too long or the oven temperature was too high.

I find that if I don't over-beat the batter and the "cake" in the oven as soon as the oven comes within 15 degrees of the required temperature, they don't poof up in the middle and crack. Perfect light browning around the edges and even top consistancy.
