    Easiest 'Cheesecake' I have ever made. I admit I was a little worried after reading some of the reviews about soggy crusts and other issues but I had no problems with this recipe and it turned out great. It's very simple and in my opinion difficult to screw up. Great for beginners.

    I haven't tried to make it yet, but it sounds very good; I can't wait to try it. Also, I want to respond to SweetStressCase: Gelatin should not be frozen because it denatures, which means that it loses its properties and it won't set, so next time, stick to just refrigerating it =

    I was so excited to try this recipe, but what a disaster! I guess I should have used deep dish pie crusts because I couldn't even fit all of the Jell-O into the shells (yes, I am aware that I was supposed to use two and I am aware that the water was cut in half from the instructions on the box. And forget about trying to move it from the counter to the fridge. Such a mess. I was so worried that the crust would be soggy that I froze the first layer. Then when I got to the second layer I could just see the crust absorbing the watery Jell-O. I haven't tasted yet and I don't really want to serve it to my guests tomorrow. It just looks soggy and awful!

    Paula, This is one of the best and easy to make Cheesecake I have ever made. It low in sugar and fat. I made it and couldn't wait to try it. After trying it I loved it. I know I will be making this cheesecake again. Thanks for a great and easy cheesecake.

    I read a couple comments about the lack of sugar and taste so I modified the recipe a little. The only low-fat item I used was the cottage cheese, everything else was regular and it turned out awesome. Perfect summer treat and I will definitely be making this again. ; Just because a recipe calls for low fat and sugar free doesn?t mean you have to use it.

    After reading several of the comments, I decided to use the freezer instead of the refrigerator when allowing the jello to set up. This did keep my crust from getting soggy and sped up the total time it took to make this dessert. I also used 2 packs of strawberry jello and 1 pack of raspberry jello. Very light and delicious.

    I was excited to make this recipe as I have began a lifestyle change to drop the lbs through eating healthy and exercising. I followed the directions exactly and was anxious to take my first bite once all was set. To my disappointment, it tasted just what the recipe called for, sugar-free mush. It didn't taste anything like a cheesecake, nor like cheese. All I tasted was gelatin, gross, disgusting sugar-free jello. What a waste of beautiful sweet strawberries! As we all know, jello has a mushy texture. Best part of the pie was the graham cracker crust but I could have just ate a cracker if I wanted that (Crust was soggy as well. Ended up throwing it out because I didn't want to take my taste buds on another horrible ride. Still have the after-taste lingering on my tongue. My nephew and niece flinched after a bite...first attempt at a low-fat dessert and boy was it a failure!
