This recipe is so good and easy to make! A beginner can make it. It's not as rich as most cheesecakes recipes. So, it's great for those family members who aren't huge cheesecake fans. They'll eat it right up. I make it for almost any gathering. I don't bother with the gels...too messy.

I made this for a party 2 years ago and my family continues to request it over and over! Even my sister who doesn't like cheesecake loves them!

I was afraid to make this recipe especially cheesecake. First I tried it was a disaster but then I need something to take and bring to work for Xmas so I decided to make this. It was good and everyone liked it! Thanks for sharing this recipe :)
