This cheesecake was WONDERFUL! I made it for 4th of July and ended up having to make another the following day by request. This was my first time using phyllo dough & it was well worth it; everyone commented on its wonderful taste & uniqueness. *The only thing I changed was making a flag design rather than the blueberry star. To make the flag I used blueberry preserves, strawberry preserves, and piped the stars & stripes out of cool whip.

OUTSTANDING! I didn't use the phyllo crust, but used a ready bake graham cracker crust. Everything else stayed the same. This cheesecake presents and eats beautifully. Delicious!

This pie is AWESOME! Not only does it have a unique crust, I didnt have ONE person at the 4th BBQ who didnt like it. I made two more the next day: one for my husband and one for him to take to work. Needless to say, they devoured it. As long as you make the recipe exactly as it reads, it will come out perfect. Happy Eating!

I made this for a 4th of July picnic and it was the most popular dessert there. The crust is a unique touch. I substituted raspberry jelly for the strawberry jelly, since I didn't have strawberry on hand.

I used this recipe for a bbq a couple of weeks ago and everyone loved it and asked for the recipe, even those who don't like cheese cake or blueberries!

I made this for July 4th '05 and everyone loved it! I accidently bought puff pastry sheets instead of phyllo dough. I didn't use any butter, but used 2 sheets of puff pastry. I laid them 45 degrees apart in the 9 in. pie plate so I had an 8 pointed star. It was a very cool effect, but use non-stick cooking spray or butter in the bottom of the pan. Thanks!! I'll make this again.

This tasted delightful and was very easy to make. I made it with a scratch graham cracker crust because I love graham crusts with cheesecake and i had the crackers on hand. The fresh blueberries gave the filling such a nice fresh, fruity taste. Everyone enjoyed at our 4th of July celebration. Thanks for another great cheesecake Eleanor! =)

We did enjoy this, but I prefer a creamier cheesecake and the taste seemed kind of custard-y to me. I used a combination of low and non-fat cream cheese, so maybe that was the problem. I also used a graham cracker crust and rasberry jam which worked fine. I found that it was better the second and thrird day. I will try this again with full fat cream cheese.

This cheesecake pie was a smash hit at the July 4th celebration I brought it to! It will be an annual fixture from now on. Take the time to make the phyllo crust, it's worth it!

I needed a very special birthday cake for the 4th of July. Doubling the recipe and baking in a deep springform pan, I outlined a large star in blueberries, then stacked slices of strawberries in the center, topped with jelly. Baking time was increased to one hour, definitely put tinfoil cap around crust when baking that last hour. I think this recipe will become a July 4th tradition!

This was so easy and so tasty! I didn't have time to let the phyllo dough thaw, so I used a pre-made graham cracker crust instead and it turned out just fine. The hardest part was making the star on top of the pie!

This was my first attempt at a homemade Holiday dessert. I usually have watermelon and ice cream. I opted for something different and boy was this a hit. I had very little difficulty in preparation and the reward was well worth the effort.

Very good! I didn't have time for the phyllo so I substituted a ready-made graham cracker crust. I'll make it again soon, though...with the phyllo :)

Once in a great while I add a recipe to my permanent collection. This is one of them. What a fantastic recipe. Very delicious and quite simple to make even though it can appear intimidating. Don't make it with anything but the phyllo dough crust - it's part of what makes this a stunning dessert. Come to my house every July 4th - this will be on the menu!
