    Excellant!!! I made this for Thanksgiving, the entire cake was gone. I followed the recipe exactly (convection oven,it was perfect. I did not make the citrus topping. We ate it plain and the lemon flavor was just enough to enjoy. Thanks Emeril

    You can use sugar/splenda, low fat cream cheese, and sour cream.dont skimp the butter, Im not thrilled with the grapefruit. If your fruit breaks down have more segments ready, plating is truly an art.

    I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving for a lighter (than regular cheesecake dessert. I added 1tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp lemon extract to enhance the lemon flavor. I found the sauce had too much butter, so I cut it by 1/2. I also squeezed the citrus juices into the sauce once I segmented them. The segments did break down and did not look like the picture. I also found the picture on the web site deceiving since it does look like rosemary not thyme. However, the taste was excellent with thyme. The cheesecake was a big hit, everyone loved it and I would make it again.

    Cheese cake seemed like it should have been paired with sometbing savory instead, and I was confused by the sauce recipe as the picture showed rosemary (not thyme and citrus segments that weren't indicated in directions. No one in my family really liked it. We drank the rest of the Grand Marnier though!

    This recipe is outstanding. I used a pan with water which is not mentioned. Be sure you wrap your pan around the crack in the break away pan before you put it in the water. Water should be hot when you start. I put the pan of water in the oven to preheat while I make the cake. You will love this cake.
