A couple of ideas I've had when making this recipe which is truly a crowd pleaser. 1. make sure the cream cheese is really soft before adding the eggs to avoid an 'eggy' end product. 2. you can also do this in a bundt pan and it decorates up very nicely as a wreath.

I thought this was a different take on the usual mexican dips. Everyone loved it! I replaced the chiles with jalapenos from my garden for an extra kick.

Must use corn chips for base, always a crowd pleaser and looks so wonderful on the plate.

I really liked the "back door" warmth of this recipe but I recommend adding one 4 oz. can of diced jalapenos. There is plenty of fat in the cheeses to tone it down and we had adults and kids enjoying it. It would not have enough heat without in my opinion. It's very nice on crackers, celery and, I'm afraid, by the bite. I just made it again tonight and it was quite a hit.

I was very disappointed about this. It took up a lot of time to make and it really needed more zip to it. I added the juice from a can of chopped jalapeños and taco seasoning to the mix. It helped a little but we ended up putting salsa on top of it to serve. I won't be making this again

I made this for an office party. It was quite simple and looked very attractive. However: I think next time I will add jalepenos to spice it up a bit. Otherwise it was good for the milder crowd.

I wanted to try this recipe for a Mexican party. It looked really yummy! I found the cheese cake part to be bland, even though I added some hot cheese and extra green chiles. It was also hard to scoop up with tortilla chips as they broke. I don't think I would make this again.

For the amount of time making this and all the ingredients needed this was a disappointment. The taste was bland and no flavor to it.

I just brought this cheesecake to a party and it was a huge hit! The only revisions I made was to add salt, pepper, chopped jalapenos and a cayenne/chili spice to the "cheese" mix. I made it with the original ingredients and it was a little bland but the extra additions gave it a delicious kick! It was easy and great!
