If you have to worry about such things as cholesterol & dieting...I've reduced fat in some recipes by using the fat free varieties of cream cheese, Smart Balance instead of butter, and Cool Whip Free (no cholesterol). I'm going to give it a shot with those changes because it sounds so good. Maybe a healthier version of graham crackers for a crust as well.Just because you have to watch cholesterol, doesn't mean you can't have something yummy with a few adjustments.
