Got this from the owner of one of our patients. I *personally* haven't had a chance to make it yet, but she made one for us and it was fabulous. It's a little lighter than "regular" cheesecake (Creole cream cheese is not as fatty as Philadephia style). I have not, however, heard anything about what it tastes like made with sugar substitutes. Nor am I good with metric conversions, if you're from a metric country. ********************* CREOLE CHEESECAKE (Louisiana style) CRUST: 5 cups crushed graham crackers 2 sticks butter, melted 1 cup sugar --> blend and press into a 10-inch springform pan FILLING: 2 pounds regular cream cheese, softened to room temperature 1 cup sugar 2 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 cups Creole cream cheese (or ricotta cheese, in a pinch) --> cream together regular cream cheese and sugar. Combine eggs and Creole cream cheese. Mix the two. Pour into pan and bake. TOPPING: 1 cup sour cream 3 tablespoons sugar --> mix and spread over cheesecake when it first comes out of the oven
