Pauline's Apricot-Almond No Sugar Cheesecake
This is a great cheesecake recipe that features Splenda & fruit which is the first sugar substitute that you can actually bake with. It comes from Pauline who says, "I have a low carb, no sugar cheesecake recipe which I've perfected over time. I eat the low carb diet and higher protein as I am hypoglycemic. I still love something sweet now and than.. I have found a new sugar substitute called "Splenda." It's already on the supermarket shelves. Does not have the toxic side effects that aspartame and nutra-sweet do. Anyway here is my recipe. (for weight management). Just make it and then "sit down" and enjoy it "guilt-free." OK for hypoglycemics and diabetics too.
