Karen: just wanted to tell you that I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. It was actually the first cheesecake that I've ever made, and I was surprised and delighted that it came out so well. Despite their initial misgivings about trying a 'low-carb' cheesecake, my family all really enjoyed it. And actually, except for the artificial sweetner, it is a REAL CHEESECAKE in every other way. The crust was scrumptious! Thanks again!
