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.

As I said, using the full-fat stuff will greatly reduce the carbs. And
1/8th of this cheesecake is a *very* generous serving (I often cut a slice
in half, as it's really rich). Using full-fat stuff and cutting the serving
size to 1/16th, the carb count would go like this:

Entire cheesecake: 50 carbs
16 servings at 3.1 carbs per slice

Steel's Sour Cherry Jam with no sugar added is 1.5 carbs per tablespoon.
Here's a link to nutritional info on their products:

prepared sugar-free Jell-O on top of the cheesecake; it would at least give
you the cherry flavor.

innovate a lot since my diagnosis last year!
