"A low-carb alternative to yummy cheesecake!! I used this recipe while following the hCG diet which eliminates all starch and sugar. With a little bit of cool whip on top, you'll feel like you aren't missing out on a thing! I found this recipe on a forum I am a part of. Delicious!"

I'm a recently diagnosed diabetic with basically no diabetic-friendly dessert recipes in my recipe box. When I found this recipe, I thought perfect! I made these for Easter for my family & they were exactly what I was looking for. The texture of these don't remind me of cheesecake at all though. They're more like brownies. Because of that, next time I make these, I will use crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth so that it's like brownies with nuts in them. Oh, & I used about 1 tbsp. of Equal instead the liquid Stevia. Wonderful! Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
