I loved the lemon and the simplicity of this recipe. I used frozen blueberries and they worked fine, however, fresh would be better. Should be fantastic with fresh strawberries next season!! Thanks again Dorothy.

I really like this cheesecake. It's very creamy and smooth. The lemon taste is fantastic! I made it with blackberries and fat free cream cheese and it was very tasty. I think this is very good and versatile recipe. You can choose whatever kind of berries you want and I think it'd also be good without the lemon and just the berries. I really enjoyed this cheesecake!
