  1. not tried it yet. concerned re the sour cream as 3/4 cup yet you say 1 cup (8 oz)
     
  2. Made it with mashed Strawberries and White chocolate shavings.It was delicious.A great basic Cheese Pie recipe.
     
  3. I enjoyed this recipe. The first time it came out a little too sweet for my husband, but the kids loved it. The second time I added 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and it turned out perfect, you could taste the lemon, but it wasn't too overwhelming.
     
  4. This recipe is so close to the one I lost.. so am going to give it a try.. the one I lost was from a package of low fat cream cheese from Publix grocery store.. thanks for posting this.. I have been looking for awhile to find one even close to the one I had..
     
  5. I liked the simplicity of this recipe. I used low-fat cream cheese and light sour cream. I also used 1/4 cup Splenda instead of the sugar. The crust was a chocolate store-bought one. I also melted 1/4 cup of semi-sweet choc chips, added about 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture to it and stirred. I then poured the vanilla mixture in the crust, topped it with the chocolate mixture and baked. My only complaint is that the filling was a bit sour. I think it needs more sugar/splenda.

  1. I love cheesecake but usually make a chocolate or fruit based cheesecake. Your cake was a nice change for us! It is light and very tasty. I used low-fat cream cheese and low-fat sour cream and made the crust with recipe #96877. I also used lemon extract instead of vanilla and it came out great! Thanks Recipe Reader for making me rediscover the taste of a basic cream cheese pie!!
