    I am totally sold on this recipe. Its more like a mousse and the cheese flavor is not very strong which is a great thing, I personally don't like very rich cheesecakes, and when tried this recipe.... I felt WOW this is exactly what I was looking for... it melts in your mouth and is refreshing, and not tooo sweet as some of the lemon desserts... the flavors are in beautiful equilibrium and I cannot stop eating it... I did not have the lemon extract, so I used the zest... it was great. AWESOME

    I was looking for a nice light dessert to have after a hearty meal of Emeril's Penne a la Vodka casserole and this was perfect. Our guests took doggie bags and the recipe home with them. I followed the recipe eactly as written, no need to mess with this one. I did reserve about 1/4 cup of the crust mixture to sprinkle over the top before chilling. Served with a few fresh blueberries sprinkled on top. This is definetly going in the family binder and will be made again many times. Would give this 10 stars if I could. Thanks so much MizzNezz.

    This was so good! We really enjoyed our dessert this evening, thanks to you, Inez. I made this exactly as directed with the addition of sliced strawberries which made quite a beautiful presentation! Once again, I thank you!

    Oh yum!! This is so light and delicious for a hot summer day dessert. I thought I'd have leftovers but not a crumb was left - thats how much we loved this. Light, refreshingly sweet and easy to make - five stars in my book.
