Cheesecake has always been my little sin. Its title and looks always made me think its composition was harmless until I was old enough to realize that its wonderful taste could only be described by certain ingredients that are unwanted by our body. So I made the decision to present you with a sugar-free cheesecake that you and your kids will love!
