This recipe was easily adapted as a sugar free recipe--substituting Nutrisweet for sugar--My diabetic husband loved it--Thank-you

This recipe is on pg 180 in my 1988 copy Philadelphia Cream Cheese Cookbook by Kraft. Great recipe and I'm making it for Thanksgiving this year. The pic gives you a nice garnishing idea.
