Introduction

The recipe is a tasty treat that fits in the low carb diet plan. It is an elegant dessert for company, and can be topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream. It also stores in the fridge for a week (or more) and can be frozen (some for now and some for later). I am unable to calculate the nutrition by the calculations offered (flour, equal, vanilla, cornstarch) but you can see by the ingredients, the carb count is very low (I am guessing less than 6 g per serving).

    It makes 16 servings- so cut it in 16 pieces (you know, cut it like you would a pie)

    I was curious. How did the one with lower fat substitutes have more calories than the one with full fat produts? - 9/23/08

    I calculated the ingredients with reduced-fat subs for the cream cheese and sour cream, and the results showed thusly:
