This recipe was "ok" but wasn't very "cheesy". I would add at least 2 more ounces of cream cheese. Also was a bit soft even when it set overnight...would decrease water to 3/4 cup. Also I would make sure the water cooled to room temp (and jello thickened a bit) before adding to mixture. My water was too hot and it made it lumpy and "flattened" the dream whip a bit. This was very inexpensive and easy, and good if you're in a big hurry and absolutely NEED cheese cake. I have had better unbaked cheese cake, tho. -
There was not enough cream cheese in this, in my opinion. It had a sweet taste, but the wrong texture and most of it got tossed out. Sorry.
