After tasting this cheesecake the Kid Kritics had great things to say about it, "Would like a world full of it… Enchanted and exquisite … So good and it is fresh … Extraordinary, out of this world pastry delight… It had a marvelous, fascinating unique taste … A blast of flavor!"
Healthy Recipe Mom Brooke invented this recipe. She says, "This dessert only has 14 carbs per serving, making it a suitable choice for those with Diabetes. Because my 2.5 year old son has Type 1 Diabetes, I try to keep his treats as low carb as possible, without using artificial sweeteners."
