  1. 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.
     
  2. This was fantastic. My kids loved it!
     
  3. 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!
     
  4. I omitted the berries because they were so pricey, but the pie still turned out wonderfully. It has a delicate yet tangy flavor that satisfied both my lemon-loving palette and my bf's more subtle tastebuds. And it was SOOO easy to make!
     
  5. Lovely recipe. Used raspberries, strawberries and blueberries, and added another 8oz cream cheese, to help set quicker. Also added chocolate ganche drizzle for a little contrast on plating. Big hit.

  1. Great flavor! I used a bag of frozen mixed berries and they were perfect. I also used an oreo cookie crust instead of graham cracker and loved it! It DEFINITELY needs longer than 3-4 hours in the fridge. Even after several more hours in the fridge it wasn't a very firm pie. Actually really good frozen :)
