This reciepe is good except you need to make about half and half of the two mixtures. Half of the mix with the cream cheese, and half with the sour cream then bake. I wouldn't say nearly as long either check after about 30 minutes. I added blueberries on top and cherries for a red, white, and blue cheesecake for the fourth.
posted Jul 4th, 2010 11:42 pmAs for a crust, use your traditional grahm cracker crust. Add crushed grahm crackers, a little splenda (sugar or stevia work as well), and some melted butter. It will bake nicely along with the cheesecake.

Actually bubbe, splenda is NOT a posion. It is in fact molecularly identical to sugar with the addition of chlorine groups to prevent your body from digesting it. As far as research has proved, the worst effect of splenda is gastrointestinal upset because the bacteria in your gut feeds on the unabsorbed sugar. In other words, it just goes right through you

Splenda, as are all artificial sweeteners, is a poison that should be avoided at all costs. Do your homework and educate yourselves on the danger of all artificial sweeteners. You should use Sweet Leaf-Stevia Plus or Xylosweet (Xylitol) or any other natural sweetener, as they have a zero or very low glycemic index. Even Raw Agave Nectar would be wonderful in this recipe

I wonder how this recipe will turn out if I would use egg substitute instead of regular eggs. Has this been tried by anyone?

Transcriber- we've made updates to the recipe. Do use the low-fat or reduced-fat cream cheese, as well as a reduced-fat sour cream. The nutrition info was also updated. Enjoy!

I have not tried this recipe. The only nutritional info is the amount of carbs. When I this this, I will probalby use Low fat cream cheese (the recipe does not indicate what kind of cream cheese to use.
