”We love desserts,” writes Mary Lewis in Sanford, Maine. “When my husband was diagnosed with diabetes, I learned to be more creative with his carbs. This recipe’s a keeper with built-in portion control!”

I had imagined the perfect recipe with my two favorite desserts, peanut butter and cheesecake..... but could never find a recipe that looked like it would be as good as my 'dream dessert'. This SURE was the perfect one! Easy to make, light, and full of those gorgeous peanut butter and cheesecakey flavours..... I'm in love!!
