Julie, here's a sugar-free, carb-friendly cheesecake I developed from a
Junior's Cheesecake recipe. You can cut down the carbs even more by using
full-fat or reduced fat Philadelphia cream cheese (or use half
full/reduced-fat, half fat-free). I chose to use all fat-free for this
recipe simply because I'm trying to cut down on saturated fats. The more
fat in the recipe, the less the top will crack. If you use all fat-free,
the top will crack and look "alligatored", but it won't affect the taste
in
the slightest, and a topping would cover it up anyway. (I did try using a
water bath while the cheesecake was baking to see if it would cut down on
the cracking, but there was no difference.)

As for the cherry topping: Could you use sugar-free cherry jam or
preserves, or something like Comstock Lite Cherry Pie Filling? True,
they'll add some carbs, but not as many as the regular sweet stuff.

Thanks! But that's a lot more carbs than I'm willing to eat in a dessert.
And I can't do the cherries. That's why I was thinking along the lines of
Jell-O and cream cheese because it wouldn't be very much in the way of
carbs.
