I have enjoyed this recipe since the 1960s, when my in-laws' dear neighbor shared it. Similar to a fruit fluff, this yummy dessert has a macaroon crust and plenty of fruit and nuts in the filling. - Pamela O'Brien Greenville, Michigan

Not a fan of the fruit topping. I think it overpowered the cheesecake.

The cheesecake was delicious, but I found the crust to be a bit too crumbly. I think I'll try a different crust recipe next time.
