Violet Cheesecake






     Have you ever seen a Violet Cheesecake!?  I discovered the purple sweet potato when out shopping, and when I saw it I knew I had to have it.  I took it home, and then had to think about what to do with it...that's when I came up with the Cheesecake idea, and such a pretty shade for experimenting.  Each of the 6 pleasing pastel pieces are only 165 calories, 28.8g carbs, 1.5g fiber, 17.3g sugar alcohol, 10.1g net carbs, 6.2g protein and 10g fat.  This would be a fun Spring dessert, Mother's Day or Easter...or really just when you are in the mood for something new!  ;)

2 Extra Large Eggs, room temperature
