I love how easy and delicious this cheesecake is to prepared.. next time I will definitely add a little more sugar. I also added some of my homemade vanilla extract. The texture is light and I love the cinnamon in the crust (I too add cinnamon to my graham cracker pie crust). The cheesecake was a hit. It was gone within minutes of me cutting it up.

Nice texture, but no flavor in the filling. If I tried making it again, I would definitely add more sugar and vanilla!!

This cheesecake was nothing short of amazing! I made it for Mother's Day, and it was a hit! It was easy to make, but it looked like it had taken hours:) I had not trouble with following the directions, and it worked out perfectly. I used a store bought pie crust to simplify things, and that also worked out very well. The cheesecake and the berries balanced each other nicely since the cheesecake wasn't too sweet, and the sugar resulted in the berries being on the sweet side. The high calorie and fat content make this a special occasion dessert, but it was well worth it!

Extremely disappointed. The filling did not turn into stiff peaks or anything close - a runny mess. I think the cream should have been beaten on its own before folding into the cream cheese. All the ingredients down the drain!

The cinnamon in the crust and the hint of lemon in the filling was great! It was not too sweet or too tart, but a perfect middle ground. This was such a refreshing and light cheesecake.

Very light and airy. A pleasant change from typical baked heavy cheesecakes. Tasted something similar years ago at a Wildwood , NJ Restaurant and always wanted the recipe! Nice lemon flavoring too. Gail Borczyk, Field Editor

I'm not sure if I should rate this since I only made the filling, but it was delicious & light tasting. Will definitely make again and possibly use the rest of the recipe too. Thanks Joyce!

Amazingly quick and easy; I whipped it up Easter morning before rushing out to church! The taste is light although with all that cream it is certainly not "lite." I wasn't sure that whipping the cream WITH all the other ingredients would result in stiff peaks, but sure enough it worked.
