It is the time of year when everyone is trying to lose weight and eat more healthy foods! But it is so hard to resist tasty desserts, which is why I made these Mini Chocolate Cheesecake. These bite sized desserts are pretty and delicious – and at the same time they are low calorie, because they were made with Splenda, not with sugar.
Too Much Sugar
Most Americans eat far too much sugar, so using a sugar substitute makes a lot of sense.
The 22 teaspoons of sugar eaten daily by the average American is more than triple the recommended amount for women, and more than double the recommended amount for men. Small, easy changes like using sugar substitutes can really add up over time, while still allowing you to enjoy delicious desserts like these Mini Chocolate Cheesecake!
