I liked the simplicity of this recipe. I used low-fat cream cheese and light sour cream. I also used 1/4 cup Splenda instead of the sugar. The crust was a chocolate store-bought one. I also melted 1/4 cup of semi-sweet choc chips, added about 1/2 cup of the cream cheese mixture to it and stirred. I then poured the vanilla mixture in the crust, topped it with the chocolate mixture and baked. My only complaint is that the filling was a bit sour. I think it needs more sugar/splenda.

I love cheesecake but usually make a chocolate or fruit based cheesecake. Your cake was a nice change for us! It is light and very tasty. I used low-fat cream cheese and low-fat sour cream and made the crust with recipe #96877. I also used lemon extract instead of vanilla and it came out great! Thanks Recipe Reader for making me rediscover the taste of a basic cream cheese pie!!
