Chef #1384718's Note:

For years I have looked for a recipe similer to that of the Sara Lee French Cheesecake with no sucess but finally was able to find one that came close so I changed it slightly and the result I think is absolutely delicous. This recipe can be made with regular ingredience for those not counting calories. I have made this pie many times with glowing reiviews and no one believes it is low calorie!
