Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake

    Explain to me again how going sugar free would make someone feel deprived!?  Do you know me at all!!!???  If you are familiar with my work, you won't be surprised when you take a gander at my Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake.  Any special occasion would be lucky to have this dense filled Cheesecake adorn their elegant table.  I should change my name to Healthy Mama because each of these four pieces are only 253 calories, 11g net carbs and 29g protein.  Finally, a way to have it all!
