This is a Paula Deen recipe... so it may not be Weight-Watchers approved or health conscious. Oops. This is my favorite "show off" item thus far... mind you I haven't been in the kitchen that long. Yummy with loads of whipped cream and a surprisingly light and fluffy for cheesecake. I even forgot the sugar one time, added it after it was all in the pan (trying to not mess up the crust), and everyone loved it still!
