I use 1/4 cup powdered sugar instead of regular sugar and it keeps the cheesecake from being grainy. I use thawed Cool Whip and mix it with the sugar first before adding the cream cheese. I also fill the pie crust evenly rather than make a crater in the center. Pie filling on top is just fine and the pieces don't look like half of the cheesecake is missing. Always a hit at social gatherings! Good recipe.

I have been trying to learn all over again how to cook...with reducing as many calories and fat grams as possible. You don't have to tell me how good making this recipe the right way would taste. I'm sure like heaven.....but since I have had a life-long fight with my weight, I've had to learn how to make new changes. I used a reduced fat graham cracker crust, fat-free cream cheese, splenda in place of the sugar, fat-free dessert topping and a "no sugar added" can of cherry pie filling. (I sweetened it to my taste with splenda). One serving equaled 195 calories and had only 3.5 fat grams. The end result? Still tasted like heaven. Thanks for sharing a great recipe! :-)

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
