low carb cheesecake

Recipe by

This recipe started as a crustless cheesecake. I have replaced the sugar with Splenda so that it is now low carb and no sugar added. If you are not dieting, you can replace the Splenda in this recipe with regular granulated sugar and top with cherry pie filling (or any other flavor you like).
