This recipe was easily adapted as a sugar free recipe--substituting Nutrisweet for sugar--My diabetic husband loved it--Thank-you -
This recipe is on pg 180 in my 1988 copy Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cookbook by Kraft. Great recipe and I'm making it for Thanksgiving this year. The pic gives you a nice garnishing idea. -
