Awesome recipe. Served to both men and ladies with great review and recipe requests. Mine did have quite large cracks in the middle of it, but I served it sliced with fresh fruit and whipped cream and nobody noticed.

this cheesecake was amazing! I accidentally added one extra bar of light cream cheese, so the cheesecake had to bake for a little longer, but it was still delicious!!! I used fresh strawberries and blueberries on top instead of the pie filling, and it was incredible!

SOOO Yummy! You would never know it's light! It's nice and fluffy and light, so if you like more dense cheescake you probably wouldn't like this one very much. I didn't put the cherry topping on top, I found some cherries in their own juices at Trader Joe's and put a few on the side, Perfect!
