Sugar Free DessertOne of my hostesses converted a PC recipe to be made with Splenda. I demo'd this at a show. Seemed to turn out ok. It was the Lemon Tartlets (?) in the Delightful Desserts Cookbook. It was also weightwatcher friendly. If the recipe calls for butter, I think we substituted Smart Balance. Hope this helps.
