This sounds wonderful. I am going to make this for thanksgiving. I just love pumpkin pie. I was worried I would not be able to have any this year!!! Thanks Sammie

Enjoy and let me know how it turns out! Splenda has a new brown sugar version too, I'm going to have to make sure I pick it up today! I can't wait to have some of this pumpkin pie! Vi

I was on www.splenda.com this morning. I think i am going to try to make the cheesecake. My family lovesssss cheesecake. I too will not eat the crust but i can take a spoon or two from the top. We dont really care for pumpkin pie so hopefully this will go over good. I am also doing the big cooking, this is a test for me. I am making turkey, stuffing, mashed potatos, corn, Lasagna, bisquits, sweet potatos and who knows what else lol....Should be interesting. I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving. I was thinking about going to the parade but it looks like its going to be cold, i live only a few blocks away but i dont like going when its cold. I went last year and it was like 60 degrees it was beautiful.

Oh I love cheesecake too! And it's high in protein. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving! Sounds like you will be busy. I'm sure you'll do great! With all that cooking though, you probably wouldn't have time to go to the parade! I always loved watching it on TV!

Hey Violet, that sounds great! I dedided to make the double layer pumpkin cheese cake for my family. I have seen the recipe posted so often on the main board that it wore me down. Hugs, Dawn

PLEASE share the recipe!! I looooove pumpkin cheesecake and I made one every year to take to my relatives so I would rather make that instead. I guess I could probably just take my recipe and substitute the splenda, but let me see your's, I'm curious and it sounds wonderful!! HUGS, Vi
