Kahlua White Russian Cheesecake image

This recipe is courtesy of my boyfriend searching the internet for new desserts. The desserts he always wants me to fix for him. What he doesn't know is that I substituted Splenda for sugar & also used fat free sour cream & fat free cream cheese. He couldn't tell the difference. He needs to lose a few pounds around the middle, so what he doesn't know won't hurt him. The ingredients below are for the Cheesecake, the Caramel Nut Crust & the Kahlua Cherry Sauce. I hope you enjoy this cheesecake, my boyfriend Marvin says it is a keeper. There are alot of steps in this recipe but the end result is definitely worth every step.
