This was a very nice cheesecake. Not to heavy, not to sweet, just perfect. Served it at a dinner party and everyone loved it. The top did crack after baking but the cool whip hid that. Try it you will not be sorry you did.

This is by far my favorite cheesecake recipe of all time. I made it for a potluck BBQ I went to in the summer. It was a huge hit, everyone loved. I especially love it because of its lemony undertone. The lemon jello pudding adds the softest hint of lemon to this cake. The coolwhip topping with fruit is just the most perfect compliment to this cake. I highly recommend this recipe.

Filling was a wonderful smooth texture. Added the extra grated lemon rind which along with the lemon pudding mix gave a nice lemony tang. The recipe was too large but it was no problem to half. Definately will make again
