This is wonderful! I think I'd liken it to a cheesecake mousse - you get all the flavor without all the weight. I lightened it with low fat cream cheese, sugar free Cool Whip, and only about 3/4 cup sugar instead of the full cup. It disappeared in just a couple minutes! A wonderful choice for hot summer days. (I didn't have the necessary ingredients for the fruit topping, but whatever you have on hand will work out fine since the fruit's not the star of this recipe. I did a spoonful of orange marmalade + a little brown sugar + a little vanilla, microwaved together, then poured over 12 oz frozen mixed fruit that was thawed and drained.)

We loved this cheesecake. I used an already made crust and assorted frozen fruit. It was simple and very tasty. And we also loved the glaze. I will be making this again!

This was really airy and tasty. I didn' have any liqueur in my liquor cabinet so I used orange juice instead and it worked wonderfully. I was in a hurry too so I used a store bought graham cracker crust. The glaze is the best part.

This is the most requested dessert in our home by my berry lovin' husband and son. It is a sure hit, and a great way to showcase summer berries!
