I tried this recipe for a passover cheesecake using chocolate macaroons, and it was insanely buttery. I don't think using margarine would have made a difference with that. I would use a quarter cup of butter next time. There was butter everywhere. I used a paper towel when I pushed the crust into my pan and it soaked right through and made my hands really buttery. But it smelled really good when I took it out of the oven, so that's a plus. I don't think it could possibly taste bad. I could always add more butter next time if 1/4 of a cup isn't enough.Reply

I thought 1/2 cup margarine was too much so I doubled the amount of macaroons and it still came out too greasy. I used butter instead of margarine but that shouldn't have made a difference, I had to press paper towels into it to remove the pool of liquid fat from the bottom of the pie shell. Confused?Reply

YUM! This was sooo perfect with Recipe#117748. I made this lower fat by substituting 1/2 cup applesauce for the 1/2 cup margarine. It was baked perfectly in 20 minutes. I also left out the cinnamon since it wouldn't go with the key lime pie. I made this to use up some macaroons I had on hand but am so glad to have found this recipe! Thanks!Reply
