Fourth of July Cheesecake image

What a classic! Faye's no-bake cheesecake is both delicious AND fun. The lemon filling is poured over the tastiest vanilla wafer crust. Then, it's decorated with bright, beautiful berries. Sweet and creamy, this easy dessert would look great on any table... picnic or otherwise.

This cheesecake was very good. The crust was a little too thick for my taste, but the filling was perfect. I would definitely make this again, but I would use a thinner crust.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was too thick and the filling was too runny. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This cheesecake was so disappointing. The crust was soggy and the filling was grainy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
