And I just have to say.........VERY GOOD!!! :)
Looks fantastic, I can see why it's a favorite!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol... yes, it is a very good cheesecake and I especially like it because it doesn't need to be baked. I also have another good one that I make and it has the blueberry pie filling on the top. I'll have to make that the next time! Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks gorgeous! I love that turtle flavor on top. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne! Thanks for visiting my blog!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! And with low calorie ingredients too! Good, I can have a bigger piece! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Kathleen! My brother and I have talked about having a "cheesecake standoff" and this is the one I was going to make to out-do him! Maybe he won't see this! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, big sister...I must admit that it looks like it is a pretty little recipe, and I am sure you worked very hard doing the best you could, and that it came off passably well. However, I am afraid that my candied apple pie cheesecake is simply going to be too much for this little recipe to compete with. I plan to bring it over, but I am afraid it might discourage you from working so hard on your recipes. :)
ReplyDeleteWell finally I can make a comment on here & can stay signed in again.....sooo, hello to you too little brother! :) Your candied applepie cheesecake sounds quite good and I am very glad you are "experimenting" with recipes(and I so do not want to discourage you), but I hope you are not too devastated when the final results are in!! Nice to have you drop by! :) :) :)
