Good and easy too! Turned out perfect. I used Splenda in place of the sugar (diabetic) and didn't have any vanilla extract so I used some french vanilla flavored Kalua Liqueur. I also top with sugar free whipped cream. YUM!! Next time I may be adventurous and streak some brownie mixture throughout the cheesecake before baking.
