I was going to serve angel food cake with plain sliced strawberries for our Easter dessert, and then I saw this recipe. So glad I tried it, really made our dessert something special!
Thanks Susan, it tastes so good with vanilla ice cream as well.
Hey just wondering how long is this good for in the fridge? Thank you so much
Hi Chrystal I would say sauce should keep Ok in the fridge for a week, although mine has never lasted that long. It also freezes very well.
Love this sauce. Made a batch this morning and added 1/4 cup Grand Marnier to it for a little adult treat. Absolutely amazing!
I used the same cheesecake recipe for years and swore by it. Decided to try this one because it just sounded so good and looked beautiful. Goodness it is to die for!!!! Serve mine with strawberries and it’s pure heaven. And really easy!!! Thanks for the recipe. Just shows sometimes we gotta try a new way of doing things!!!!!
Thank you so much Lorraine, glad you enjoyed the recipe. Its always fun to try a new one!
Is your tall and creamy cheesecake recipe for high altitude baking? It looks awesome. Let me know. Thanks!!
Hi Sue, I’m not sure. I live in Alberta, Canada, but people from all over the world have tried the recipe with great success.

Hi Rin, No flour will not work.
