A New Twist on a Fruit Dessert

I made this for a birthday party and everyone thought it was yummy. However, this recipe is misleading in a couple of ways: 1) The recipe says it makes 8-10 servings. They must be huge servings as I had served 8 adults and still had more than 1/2 leftover. Though, after refrigation, the leftovers are quite yummy just not pourable. 2) The recipe states cooktime is 15-20 minutes. It took us about 45 minutes to reach the recommend temperature. I have a new and efficient gas stove so I'm not sure why the time difference. All-in-all, I would make this recipe again but would probably cut it in half if you truly want 8-10 servings and plan on 45 + minutes for cooking it to 170 degrees. On taste alone, I would rate it 5 stars but felt the recipe was a bit off on its information so I rated it 4 stars.
Sinfully delicious

I am a cheesecake fanatic, and this was a wonderful spin on a classic dessert. There are several great things about this dessert. Simple to make, lower in calories(I control how much cheesecake mixture I use), beautiful presentation and if your lucky, extra cheesecake batter to eat later right out of the bowl by the spoonful.
yum, but expensive

This was good--too good, in fact. I made a fourth of the recipe and my husband and I polished it off between the two of us. I think that's more because we don't have much discipline and less because that's the appropriate serving size. I agree with the previous reviewer, I think this could feed 10-12 if you make the whole thing. I used almond extract to taste b/c I didn't have amaretto. My only issue: it came at an extravagant price. Strawberries, raspberries, mascarpone cheese. Do this on a special occasion when you're having people over.
perfect summer dessert

This was a perfect dessert for my family of picky eaters. The fresh fruit was great for the dieters and the cheesecake was lite and not too sweet.
Excellent

At first I was hesitant however it was FANTASTIC! I used half sugar and half splenda and it was really good. After you refrigerate it it becomes very stiff like cheesecake. Paired with the fruit was so yummy my husband is already asking for more!!! A definite remake!
Make Half!

I made this mid-winter, when the fruit wasn't great, so served it more as a sauce over angel food cake with another sauce of raspberries and strawberries in a syrup. It was divine, and really tasted rich, though it was quite light compared to a slice of cheesecake. I used Grand Marnier (it was available) and the citrus flavors, especially the lemon, really came through--delicious. I followed other reviewers' suggestions and made a half recipe--it was perfect. Made between 3.5 and 4 cups of the cheesecakey stuff, which in my opinion was great plenty. We served 4 people with enough leftovers for 4 more servings, and I was fairly generous with the sauce. This one's a keeper--and a passer on-er!
