This might be delicious, but using cream cheese in the topping doesn't make it "cheesecake" any more than putting cream cheese icing on carrot cake makes THAT cheesecake.

I just tried this one year and it was a huge hit!! My father-in-law requests that I make this every year. The kids love it and it makes for a very festive center piece for the desert table.

I don't know what happened. I made this receipe for my husbands company picnic. It turned out so pretty. Until I put in the refrigerator overnight. I had it covered,but the next morning, in the center it was ruined with water! I made sure the fruit was dried well after cleaning it. I would love to make this again,if anyone can tell me what went wrong.
