This is really good! I made a lowfat-version as well and it really tasted the same. I used ff cream cheese, splenda & skim milk. Everyone asked for the recipe. Thanks!

I fell in love with this amazing recipe and have made it several times....like a rich cheesecake but lighter in texture....the crust is delicious too. Wonderful! Next time I may swap out the cherry and use strawberry pie filling.

We love this! Also tried it with fresh strawberries and strawberry glaze and blueberry jam topped with fresh blueberries.

I made this today and it's awesome! Totally a dish worthy of taking to someone's house. That is my highest praise for a dessert.

This was AWESOME! I'm going to have to make this again! I'm intimidated by desserts but I made this and everything came out perfect. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks
