I personally did not try this. I also didn't use your topping, but a cream cheese one I found on the net. I made it as a welcome gift for my sisters new roommate as the other one is diabetic. All 3 of them really liked it and so did their caretakers. I used a 9 in. sq. pan and it rose to about 1/2 from the top, so I will continue to use that size. I will check out your other diabetic recipes. Thanks for posting!
