i accidentally doubled the recipie (cake mixes are usually 18.5 oz around here) i made it in an 11 x 7 and added some vanilla in, only used 3 cups of powdered sugar and threw the extra 2 oz of cream cheese left in the package (waste not). i think next time id like to mix it all in together instead of layers - it turned out very nice - untill i decided to try and position it upright on the wire rack (i flipped it out of the dish upside down) and it sooooorta all fell apart XD but its continuing to cool. easy easy easy to make - i sampled some (i wouldnt dare try and eat more seeing as how sweet and rich it is my teeth couldnt handle it) and so did dbf, ill def be making this again someday thanks for the recipie

This was a tag from Zaar Tag. I made as stated. However, it never got very firm in the middle and the edges started browning. It tastes more like custard than cheesecake. It might turn out better with some vanilla and baked in an 11x7 pan. There was plenty of crust to do that. I would also recommend greasing the sides of the dish. Wanted to update as the kids loved it (the whole dish was gone the next morning!)
