Light cheesecake for diabetic

I needed a sugar free birthday cake for my diabetic dad. A cake that everyone can eat without compromising waistline.

So I substituted the sugar from this light cheesecake to make it really lite(low calorie).  It is not as fluffy as its sugar version but it is a nice not-so-dense type of cheesecake. Those who are watching blood glucose  now can eat in peace and indulge in an extra slice.
