My girlfriend wanted me to create a dessert for her birthday ;.She had a cheesecake dessert at a restaurant that was covered with fruit and had a gelatin glaze. Her dessert had mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks and she liked the orange and yellow refreshing look it had. Read more it was also sweet and she told was unbaked. I guess I did good as she said it was even better than the one at the restaurant!!! I prefer calling this a cheescake dessert. It does not have the texture of a baked cheesecake, yet it is sweet, creamy and fruity! See less

NO BAKE is the big draw here. I am trying desperately to NOT use the oven this summer. I wanted to flag as beautiful, but I couldn't....maybe because someone else already did?? I flagged as unique, though.
