    You definitely have to try this cheesecake recipe. Very easy to make and tastes soooooo wonderful. It's hard to believe that it is low in sugar and calories. This is perfect for diabetics too. My entire family absolutely loved it and so did everyone else at a party I took it too. I had MULTIPLE people who asked me for this recipe and tried it and their families loved it as well. DEFINITELY A KEEPER!!!! Now, as for those who say that it isn't good, well....let me just say that those are the people doing something wrong and don't know how to follow instructions.

    OMG!!! trust me I'm not exaggerating, this jello cheesecake is so delicious that it is going into my top ten recipe book! It's easy to make and my WHOLE family absolutely loved it. This one is definitely a keeper. For those that gave it a bad review, it just had to be because they didn't follow the instructions right, because there's just no way that this jello cheesecake could be disappointing in any way. The only thing I do recommend though is that when you are pouring in the jello for the second time after you've layered it with strawberries, do it with the pies already sitting in the fridge and then just pour it from there, otherwise you might spill a little when you try to do it from the counter and then walk it over to the fridge...but other than that, I know I'll definitely be making this recipe again.

    Paula, I have made many many of your recipes. I was widowed 4 years ago.
    My kids favorite past time with dad was cooking. I had to run our printing business. I have had to ban sweets from the house due to weight problems inherited from dad. I was so excited about a good dessert. However, the kids didn't even touch it.

    This is the first recipe that I am trying of Paula Deens. I stopped watching a few years ago, because the dishes were always soooo unhealthy. I happened to turn on the food network last weekend and watched her make this light desert. I made it over the weekend and it is delicious. I hope she comes with lighter dishes this year, so I can try them out. I still think she is a wonderful cook. :

    Works great with other fruit and jello flavors. One question: Paula Dean recipe calling for sugar free jello and light style crusts? I thought it was a typo and did it the regular way. Put a smile on my face while making this great pie. Thanks to Paula and her friend for sharing this recipe.

    I saw this being made on the show and thought it sounded strange to be using cottage cheese but I figured what the heck. This pie is awesome. The only problem is the crust getting soggy. I found that when you have to put the remaining jello on top to have the pie on a shelf in the fridge and just pour it on there, that way you don't have to move it and slosh it all over the floor like I did the first time. And as for only making one pie, well, I just put the remaining in a loaf pan and serve it just mousse. Tastes just as good scooping it out into a bowl or serving it like pie.

    Happy to have seen the show when this was being put together, my husband was very happy to see me in the kitchen, had a bit of a problem with the pie shells,
    but loved the outcome. will keep this recipe for sure.
    I am always wondering what to fix to take to different events, this recipe will do nicely.

    If you are looking for a light but delicious dessert ,this is
    it.
    I do recommend starting the night before to give enough
    time for the geletin to set, but you will be rewarded with
    a delicious pie (and its low cal too!
    Awesome dessert! Give it a try!

    Mrs. Deen,

    I love your show and your smile. When I was asked to make dessert for a family get together, I made this and the compliments I got were all because of you, so... Thank you.
    It was very easy and I may add it was also very delicious.
    Lots of love,
    Nancy
