Made this last night for a big family dinner and it must have been terrific since I am the only one who did not get a piece. Entire dessert gone. Everyone loved it.

I made this recipe for my mom and friends. They really liked it. It reminded them of a good German cheesecake. I made it exactly as recipe calls for. I actually baked mine for 1hr 10min. Quick and very easy anyone can make this.

FANTASTIC! I've made this twice in the past two weeks and it is delicious and received raves both times. I added the juice and zest from 1/2 a lemon and didn't put berries on top. I only baked it 45 min. which was plenty. Very easy and I will absolutely make again and again!

Instead of using the frozen blueberries, I used a pint of fresh ones. It also didn't need as long to bake as stated in the recipe. Tossed whole fresh blueberries on the top. Everyone raved about this dessert-Would DEFINITELY make again! :-)

I didn't see sour cream in the recipe until after I made/cooked it. I'm going to go ahead and serve it at my party, but I'm hoping no one misses it. Next time I'll be sure to include it. One thing I noticed when I added the pudding mixture to the 13x9 pan and spread it around was the Reduced Fat 'Nilla crust cracked and started to shift as well. Anyone else experience this?
