Good cheese cake w/a slight amaretto flavor. It's good all on it's own, no need for the berries.

I made this cheesecake without adding the fruit and even without that extra flavor it was stil very good. This was the first time I've ever baked a real cheesecake so I was glad this recipe was so simple. Next time I will definetly add fruit and I'm sure it will be delicious. The only thing I didn't like was using the premade crust. I bought a crust to save time, but it never tastes very good or cooks properly. Next time I'll just make my own.

The amaretto added a great flavor to the cheesecake. My family all enjoyed it.

I made this once, and now everytime the family gets together, they ask me to bring the "Amarettio Cheesecake with the fruits on top."

This recipe is super, duper, wonderful. I love it. If you make it one time you'll make again and again.

Great recipe! Terrific alternative when I'm short on time to the 2-hour French Amaretto cheesecake recipe I use when I'm trying to impress people. Amaretto flavor can stand alone, or is good with berry or chocolate topping.

I haven't made this one yet but it sounds like a heavenly one for a summer evening dessert get together.
