This sounds and looks great!thanks for posting


I am interested in making these for a special family occasion coming up. What is the oven temperature for this recipe?


Thank you so much. ;)


These were fantastic! I made these for a family occasion held today and everyone loved them. I gave the guests choices of different fruit toppings. They were a hit! Thank you very much for making me look like an expert cook! :-)


I have a question. I'm lacking in the area of a food processor at the moment, waiting until we move into a new home for new toys *grin* Anyway, since I just have the electric hand beater to use at the moment what is the best way to go about mixing the filling in your opinion? Thanks!


I'm making this for super bowl today and I can not wait to try and share them; I know they will be hit!

Use Vanilla Wafers for an alternative crust!


Use any fruit filling besides strawberry- whatever you think will taste good with cheesecake :)
