Creamy & Delicous. I made this cheesecake in my springform pan instead of making bars. I also, used reduced fat Nilla Wafers, Cream Cheese, & Sour Cream, & sugar free carmel sauce. Other having a perfect taste, it looked amazing. Family asked if I had bought it. Highly Recommend!!

This is wonderful! I took it to work and I received more compliments than anything else I have ever made. I used low-fat cream cheese, sour cream and Nilla wafers.
