  1. Use this recipe all the time when I need a cheesecake fix at home. Love the chocolate option and sprinkle crushed butterfinger or heath candy bars on top.

  3. Excellent! Good texture, very creamy. And so easy to make, thanks for another great recipe Kittencal.
     
  4. I gave this recipe 5 stars. I made this for my bosses birthday as she loves cheesecake. Everyone loved it! It tasted so creamy and had such a wonderful cream cheese flavor. The only change I made to the recipe was to leave out the lemon because I didn't have any on hand. Overall I thought this was one of the best no bake cheesecakes I've ever had and will make it again for sure! Thanks for posting! Christine (internetnut)
     
  5. You were right again Kitten - I will never make traditional cheesecake again! Maybe when the kids are grown, but for now, this is just as good. Quick, easy, and so yummy! I have tried with various fruits as well as without and it is always terrific! Grab a spoon and dig in because this pie doesn't last long enough to take the time cutting slices in my house!
