Even a hard-to-please sweets fan says these 10-minute treats have a “texture better than any instant cheesecake I’ve ever made at home.” Lemon, pumpkin, and strawberry flavors all come with a salty-sweet gingersnap crust that you can layer into a dish for the best presentation—or sprinkle on top if you’re eating from the bag.

As a general rule, I don’t believe in dessert... my backpacking nightcaps had traditionally been limited to picking the M&Ms out of my GORP. All that changed with the Packit Gourmet Cheesecakes. Packit describes the prep as “Super EZ,” and that’s exactly right. All you need to add is a cup of cold water, ten minutes, and - voila - instant deliciousness. When sampling the flavors at Torrey Pines State Reserve, we were consistently confounded by the comparable consistency and flavor to cheesecake made at home.

Delicious. Like Lemon pudding but much more flavorful.
-
This tasted great but was very sugary as someone else pointed out. I only ate 1/3 of it and was satisfied.
-
You could serve this at a banquet and get away with it. It’s absolutely delicious!!!

I took the Meyer Lemon Cheesecake with me on a 4-day backpacking & climbing trip to Como Lake in Colorado and I saved it for the evening after I climbed Blanca Peak. I had it after the delicious Texas State Fair Chili. I was looking forward to this special treat my entire trip. I pulled it out after dinner to surprise my partner. I made sure to get all the powder out of the corners like the directions said and it was the perfect consistency. It was delicious and more than enough for both of us to share. We even had some left for the next morning. Without doubt, I will purchase this again.

Delicious! Was a great treat at the end of a long day of hiking! Will purchase this one again.
-
Very good lemon-y flavor. It was pretty hard to get down into all the crevasses of the pack to mix it up enough, so there was still some powder when I ate it. Consistency was good though. I will definitely buy again.
-
While the flavor was good, it was way too sweet! So sweet it hurt my teeth. I’ll pass on buying this one again.
-
hmmm. Mine stayed very soupy and never really "setup" as a "cheesecake" or even a pudding. It tasted good but I ended up drinking it more than eating it.
