I have made this four times, and it has turned out perfect every time! Once, I made it gluten-free using GF graham crackers and substituting corn starch for the flour. It tasted great, but this was the only time the cheesecake cracked. I omit the food coloring, I add an extra tablespoon of fresh-squeezed lemon juice in place of the lemon extract. The next time I think I'll try lime juice as suggested by other reviewers. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. It is always a hit!

This is the first cheesecake that I have ever made and it turned out great! I made this for a cookout after church. It sat inside of a cooler bag for 4 hours and was still perfect for the cookout. I followed the directions exactly and it turned out so good I almost didn't get a piece!!

Very good cheesecake. I don't use the food coloring and I spread lemon curd on top after it has cooled and decorate with whipped cream. Delicious!

This dessert was amazing! My husband loves cheesecake, so I made this lemony twist for his Graduation Celebration last month. I followed the directions, exactly, and it was perfect. (We served it with canned cherry pie filling on the side.)

Delicious! I used fresh squeezed lemon juice and low fat cream cheese. I would definitely make this again!
