    You can use lowfat cream cheese ( I personally would use 2 low fat, one non fat)
    Split the amount of sugar in half - use 1/2 regular sugar....1/2 splenda or an alternative like that
    They also sell lower fat ginger snaps (although cals are same along with carbs)

    * I enjoy cheesecake (and can't wait to try this) - I handle it by making it, having one small slice, then either having my husband or myself take it to work to share.

    Moderation, moderation, moderation! Oh, and add an extra workout!

    Thank you Anna, for posting this recipe!! I was one of the naughty ones that requested it :devil:
    Maybe there are some substituations that can be made so that it's not SO fattening...But I think we're all pretty much *ahem* up a creek when it comes to this one. :wink:

    Cut it into small peices and share it with everybody. They will think you are just the best cook ever.

    One peice won't do any harm. It's when you eat in excess everyday that you get problems
