This cheesecake is amazing! I have never had an issue with texture (I'm guessing the reviewer who said it was grainy used real sugar instead of sugar substitute). I do take the time to cream the cream cheese and then add the sugar and cream together until super smooth just in case. I've made the recipe as is and it is perfection. I've also substituted lemon juice in place of the vanilla in the topping and that's delicious. Next I'm going to add sugar free chocolate chips. My man and 2 year old (not on a diet) love this cheesecake too! The cheesecake is great eating as is but I have topped it with thinned down sugar free pudding and sugar free jam. This recipe could never rival a real sugary graham crust cheesecake but if you're on a sugar free diet this dessert is the best out there and tastes pretty dang close to the real thing. Yum!

I'm not sure why this was found bland I found it incredibly sweet! It was truly delicious. The best SB dessert I've tried by a landslide. It was SO nice to enjoy what tasted like a REAL dessert! I will be having this even if I come off of SB. The cake part was great and the top was creamy and delicious, couldn't recommend it more!

My DH is in his second week of Phase 2 and nearly cried when he took his first bite. I topped it with some frozen berries popped in the microwave for a minute with some Equal. He said "You can make this ANYTIME you want." and declared "Finally, this is what I needed, some food with flavor!" Thank you for a great recipe!!
