I posted this in techniques and tips and got no response so this is my next resort.

I recently received a recipe for a LC German Chocolate Cheesecake and the topping consists of the following:

1/2 c butter
1/4 c splenda
2 Tbsp cream
2 Tbsp corn syrup*
1 c flaked coconut
1/2 c chopped pecans
1 tsp vanilla

I'm to cook it over a medium heat stirring occasionally until smooth and bubbly, then pour on top the finished cheesecake once it's cooled significantly.

What can I use as a substitute for corn syrup??? Would this work if I just skipped that ingredient? Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
