Lisa's Easy Cheese Pie
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
2/3 cup raw sugar or natural sugar substitute
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Sour Cream Topping:
1 cup sour cream
2 tbs. raw sugar or natural sugar substitute
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350º. In a large mixing bowl add cream 
cheese, eggs, sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla, beat with 
an electric mixer until batter is smooth and ingredients 
are well incorporated. Pour batter into a pie pan greased 
with non-stick cooking spray, and bake for 20 - 25 minutes. 
Take pie out of the oven, leaving the oven on. Let cheese 
pie cool for 20 minutes on cooling rack. While pie cools,
in a small bowl mix together sour cream, 2 tablespoons
sugar and vanilla. Once cheese pie cools the 20 minutes,
spoon the sour cream topping into the center of pie, and
spread evenly leaving about an inch all the way around 
the "crust" free of the sour cream mixture. Bake 10 - 15
minutes longer. Remove cheese pie from oven and place
on a cooling rack until completely cooled. Cover and 
refrigerate for 6 - 8 hours, or overnight. Serve with your 
favorite fruit topping, whipped cream, fruit puree, 
chocolate or caramel sauce etc. 

Easy Pineapple Topping:
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple (in 100% pineapple
juice), drained
1 tbs. raw sugar or natural sugar substitute

In a bowl, add pineapple and sugar, mix well. 
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to chill. Add a few 
tablespoons of pineapple topping onto each 
slice of cheese pie before serving, if desired. 

Note: I absolutely love the all-natural sweetener
SlimSweet. SlimSweet is a great alternative to 
artificial sweeteners on the market. It's made 
from Monk fruit extract, and does not have any 
bitter aftertaste like some alternative and low-
carb sweeteners. It works perfectly in this recipe.
I purchase it online on Amazon. It's hard to find
elsewhere. To me, it's really delicious, and also
dissolves great in homemade tea, lemonade,
coffee and the like, it's great in oatmeal, and 
other hot cereals too. I prefer to use a little less
SlimSweet than recipes call for as I think it's 
sweeter than regular sugar, you can experiment
with your recipes, and use as much as your taste
buds prefers, just don't add more than a recipe 
calls for! *Must refrigerate once opened or it 
will becomeas hard as a rock though!
