tried five times so far this recipe, loved it all the time. the last i made alteration, instead of full-fat cream cheese, i used light cream cheese. Even with halved fat, it still turned beautifully!. I put halved strawberry and mandarin oranges(both dried first on tissue paper to remove excess liquid), after the bake was over, then glaced it with colorless jelly (instead of gelatin, i used jelly made from seaweed. i package/envelope with a cup of water, boiled). It looked (and tasted) like cheesecake i bought at hotels only this time the cost is a fift :).
