"My neighbor Frannie came up with the idea for this cheesecake. Her husband and mine (who are on the Atkins diet) both love it! This cake is sweetened with Splenda. Makes 12 servings, 6 to 8 grams of carbs each."

Delicious. I am not an experienced cheesecake maker but I was easily able to make this perfectly. I did make a substitution, though - I used part Erythritol (2/3 c) and part Erythritol + Stevia (1/3 c) blend (both granulated) instead of Splenda.

This worked as a dieters cheesecake although I think if I made it again I would add more splenda. I made this for My-3-Chefs November 2009. Thanks for sharing mermaidmagic.

I was born and raised in Boston and continue to live here still. I met my hubby in 1986 and we've been together ever since. We have two children and my family is my passion. Pet peeves? Rudeness, laziness, greed, hatred, and bad manners of any kind. And for some reason, I can't stand listening to someone whistle!
