  1. i made a few changes. i just made a homemade graham cracker crust- since I'm not a big fan of oreos. I also used 1/2 splenda and 1/2 sugar. Then 2 whole eggs and 4 egg whites- I didn't want to buy egg substitute and consider the real eggs to be healthier than any substitute- I've never used a substitute in my life...but that's besides the point. The cheesecake was really yummy with the changes I made also- texture and structure was comparable to a full fat cheese cake. Yum. I only give it a three star out of personal preference. Cheesecake is not my FAVORITE can not live with out it kind of dessert. It just so happened that my craving for cheesecake coincided with easter and so I made this one and it fit the bill. I liked the lemony taste also. Thanks again
