Quick, easy and Delicious!
this is so good but it drives me literally insane when people change every ingredient and then say how much they love the recipe.
So simple and easy. I added 2 teaspoons of maple extract in addition to vanilla extract and topped it with fresh blueberries tossed with a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of sugar. It was a HUGE hit at a dinner party last night!
Old fashioned Cherry Delight on a larger version. One of family favorites. Use graham cracker crust when lady fingers are not available. Great dessert that is a crowd pleaser.
Keeping the ladyfingers standing while pouring the filling into the pan was difficult.
i’ve made this twice. i only make it for special occasions only because i eat too much of it.
outstanding
Love this recipe, used powdered sugar instead of regular sugar. I spread lemon curd on top of ladyfingers and fresh raspberries on top of that , then melted seedless raspeberry jam and coated the raspberries. Was a great cake wish I had a picture to share.
I made this for a party and every one including grandchildren LOVED it. Why do people bother to rate a recipe if they DID NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. It is not the recipe that was lacking, it was you. Wasted my time reading reviews for people that cannot follow directions and then complain about the out come.
So easy, so pretty, and soooo good. I did do the graham cracker crust like some other reviewers. This was excellent!
Great no bake cheese cake with phenomenal visual appeal. I used separated lady fingers. Would be much easier to use the cakier version. I overbeat my whipped cream just a tad. I used drained morello cherries from Trader Joe’s.
Very Very Good! Easy, quick and more economical than the average Cheesecake recipe! The Directions were written in a confusing manner. I revised it somewhat. I crushed probably 3/3oz packs of LadyFingers and placed them in the bottom of the spring pan. (next time I would only crush 2of the 3oz packs for the bottom) The cheese filling I would do the same. Half of the filling then I crushed 1 pack of L.Fingers and sprinkled in the middle. Then the other half of cheese mixture, then topped with Cherry Pie Filling. Was really great! A definite keeper! ??
This was good. I would make this again.
Well, Happy Birthday to me…this cheesecake is soooo good. I’ve always wanted to make cheesecake, always wanted to make ladyfingers, and decided to treat myself for my bday. Scratch ladyfingers, coupled with fresh strawberries, and I’m in love.
I made this for Easter Sunday it was delish! I added a ribbon around it before I put it on the dessert table. My only error was when I added the cherries on top I had too much sauce and it ran over the side…however everyone thought it was pretty. 🙂 you won’t be disappointed it’s so light and even people who don’t favor typical cheesecake will be pleasantly surprised 🙂
This has been the biggest hit at my office.. I can’t begin to tell you the raves it got…I officially have to make this for all employee birthdays and all holidays. Only thing I switched out was cherries for strawberries and put on can between layers and the other on top.. EXCELLENT
This cheesecake had a wonderfully light texture and a great flavor! I added extra vanilla. Make sure you put everything together the day before you serve it so that the ladyfingers have time to soften and keep it chilled until right before serving.
This is an excellent base cheesecake recipe! However, I used it to make mini-cheesecakes. I made my own graham cracker crust to put in the bottom of each foil muffin cup, then the cheesecake mixture, and topped it off with cherry pie filling. Delicious and so very easy!!
The cheesecake tasted fantastic, but the ladyfinger crust tasted a bit spongy, rather than a more substantial crust which we would have preferred.
My boyfriend thought this tasted amazing but it seemed like I didn’t have nearly enough lady fingers and it looked more like a pile of mush then a cake. Either way I have gotten many requests to make it again.
This is a great cheesecake, however I use powdered (confectioner’s) sugar instead of regular sugar. I think it sweetens things like cream cheese and whipping cream much better, without the gritty taste that you can get with granulated sugar. Also, I topped my cheesecake with crushed pineapple, draining it first of course!
