As soon as strawberries and rhubarb come into season, I pull out this recipe so I'm ready to make it when the fruit is at its peak. The combination of flavors and textures simply can't be beat. This cheesecake truly tastes like springtime! —LeeAnn McCue, Charlotte, North Carolina

What's up with "GamaB' & "SimpleFoods"? Same person commenting as 2 different people? "kitzer" I think "doeye's" point was that this person(s) rated the recipe without ever making it and rating it 2 times as different cooks. The cook posting this recipe did not submit the photo, it is credited to TOH.

This is a lovely summery and light recipe. Sweet enough and with a fresh lemony twist. I loved it!

Have made this recipe many times and it is always a hit! PLEASE DO NOT rate a recipe if you have not tried it! And then to rate it TWICE using different names??? Shame on you.

I haven't made this recipe yet and I am sure it is probably delicious but there is no way that this cheesecake will actually look like this picture. When I see a recipe image I expect it to look at least close to what it will actually looks like. Once the topping is prepared as instructed there is no way it will look like the fresh looking fruit in this picture. I had to look at the directions because when I saw this image I wondered how anyone would be able to eat the rhubarb on this cheesecake when it was raw.

I haven't made this exact recipe, but I know it will be delicious because I love strawberries and rhubarb together - and cream cheese with condensed milk will improve anything that needs improving - or just enhancing! I will say that the picture doesn't look like the rhubarb was cooked quite as long as I would cook it - 10 minutes sounds enough, but the picture looks like the fruit is raw -and I would add the strawberries to the boiling mixture for a couple minutes as well. Can't wait to try this!
