"I have made this twice now and everyone LOVES it. We don't make it with the liquor and it still turns out good. I will say that it has a slight citrus taste to it, so if you don't like that, perhaps leave the zests out. I made the strawberry topping once and I wouldn't make it again; however, this cheesecake recipe is here to stay. One thing: make sure it does sit overnight refrigerated because it really changes the consistency. The first one I made sat overnight and was PERFECT. The second one sat 8 hours or so and was a bit soft in the middle still, but still good.

"I made this recipe for a dinner party at our house last night. I read the reviews and made some modifications, but everyone LOVED it. I got rave reviews and will definitely make again. Some things: I used a whole roast instead of the ribs. I used 2 cups of wine and four cups of beef broth and added a few extra tomatoes. I did not use a dutch oven. I used my ovenproof stock pot. My sauce did NOT cook down to nothing. In fact, I probably used about 3-4 cups worth of sauce that was food processed and poured over the pasta...and I still had more to throw out. I would only add 1/2 cup extra wine and 1 cup extra broth next time...if even doing that. Instead of parmesan cheese, I used aged asiago, which was amazing. Next time I'd like to make the whole thing and put it over a tortellini. Overall, it was great and people really complimented me.
