When I worked full-time and needed a quick dessert to take to a potluck or a friend's home, this pie was always the answer. You can substitute a graham cracker crust or use another type of fruit pie filling for a change of pace. Even the chilling time is flexible if you're in a big hurry. -Mary Smith Bradenton, Florida

We have made this twice now, and both times this cheesecake is gone in a day. We substituted blueberries the second time....DELISH!!

My mom makes her cheesecake like this, but only uses 8oz of cream cheese. Soooo delicous! You can also add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and another 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and make it a chocolate cheesecake. Just use a chocolate crust! You can swirl choc. syrup on top for a nice presentation.

Simply Delicious!!! Great, Fast, and Easy. I highly recommend you try this recipe. This one is a keeper. The only problem is the pie was gone so fast! ;)
