“Heavenly” is a good description for this luscious dessert, conveniently made a day ahead. When I don’t have a candy bar on hand, I melt ¾ cup of chocolate chips to use in the frosting. Whipped cream can be used in place of the whipped topping.—Arlene Butler, Ogden, Utah

My aunt made this last year at Thanksgiving and shared the recipe with me. I make it every time we have a celebration. It's a little tedious, but it's well worth it.

This was my very first Cheesecake that I made ever! Well it was a huge hit! It didn't last long and it was so pretty! I used a store bought Oreo crust instead of what the recipe called for which made it extra yummy! Loved it!!!! :) Will be making this again at Thanksgiving!

I have made this recipe several times, including for our church's Valentine Banquet one year. Great flavor and looks nice, too!

I've been making this cheesecake for years, with & without the frosting. It is amazing every time! Love it, Love it!

Everybody loved this cheesecake. However, the crust it too hard/crispy. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I followed the exact recipe.

I've made several different cheesecakes, and this is one of my very favorites. I love the creaminess of it, and I love the lighter, mousse-like frosting in contrast with the denser cheesecake. This is a cheesecake recipe I've made several times, and people always love it. I highly recommend this recipe.
