Notes
For Sliky Chocolate Cheesecake, do this: Omit all the lemon ingredients, add 4 T. unsweetened cocoa powder, up the stevia to ⅓ c. and if you like, add a teaspoon of almond extract for added depth and richness.
For Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake, follow the directions for the silky chocolate variation, above, but omit the almond extract. Add 4 T. powdered peanut butter, a la PB2 or Betty Lou's Just Great Stuff.
