"Although it takes some time to prepare this eye-catching cheesecake, the combination of tangy lemon and rich white chocolate is hard to beat. It's always a hit!" —Marlene Schollenberger, Bloomington, Indiana

I made this for a party of 8 and received raves galore! It was excellent, light yet gloriously fulfilling. One person made a comment that it tasted like Lemon Meringue pie. There was none left and they were coming back for more.

I used this awesome Cheesecake for my daughter's Wedding Cake! I added a White Chocolate Collar around the sides, and decorated the top with fresh fruit. I am definitely going to make this cheesecake again - the blend of Lemon & White Chocolate is so pleasing, you can ignore the fact even a small slice blows any calorie counting diet!

This is the most amazing cheesecake and has become a family favorite. I've also substituted lime for the lemon. It was also good, but I prefer the lemon.

This is amazing! It has replaced my holiday cheescake that I have been making for years. I do add white chocolate ganache on the top, sometimes with berries. You will love it. The crust makes it stand above the rest! I am so tired of graham cracker crusts. We will be having this for Easter. It is so delicious!

I served this cheesecake at a luncheon and received rave reviews! Even people who do not normally like cheesecake ate every bite!

This was a huge hit! So nice and refreshing! Mine looked more like a normal cheesecake though, not as yellow as in the pic. Delicious!
