Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but remember to keep tabs on portions. This cheesecake makes enough for 16 servings.

Variation

Prepare as directed, substituting 3 cups mixed fresh berries for the package of frozen berries and increasing the sugar mixed with the Neufchatel mixture to 1 cup.

How to Soften Cream Cheese

Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.

I used fat free cream cheese, and Splenda instead of suger, and fat free cool whip. This really cut down on the fat and calories.

I liked the fact that you use frozen berries, which makes this an all year treat, very good no-bake recipe.

I made it for work and everyone loved it. It was so easy to make and was very light. A wonderful change from regular cheese cake.

One pint of fresh blueberries is the perfect amount for this recipe.

I have made this several times and gotten rave reviews from all my friends. It's a lighter density desert than everyone thinks it will be-best with fresh fruit..the fruit stands out more...

I have made this dessert several times. Everyone that ate it, just raved about it. It was very simple to do, especially since I am in a wheel chair and did not have to use the oven.

The taste of this was spectacular! Light and refreshing! It was hard to serve though because the crust was really crumbly. I will experiment with solutions! I will definitely make it again!

Very good. A little messy to eat, but worth it. I made it for tailgating and everyone loved it!

I made this for an outdoor barbecue. It tastes nice but not like a cheesecake dessert, more like berry cream cheese. I recommend instead just spreading the mixture on a bagel for a fancy brunch. Also it was very gooey and impossible to eat with your fingers.
