This was yummmmmmmmy. Some of the gals make it without the crust too.

That sounds good. How many carbs are you able to take out without the crust? I think I'd like it better that way.

I think you would just have to look at the graham cracker box and deduct whatever 8 would be. My box says 11carbs per cracker that would be 88 in the whole recipe divided by 9 would be about 10 per serving. So about 12 carbs per serving?! I think that is the only carbs in the crust. ??Cinnamon not sure. That would make it a lot better carb wise.

that would nearly eliminate the sugars in this recipe too. Also would cut the fat in half too. And the sodium would be way lower too. without the graham crackers this looks like a really good choice. Thanks for getting my math mind in action.

LOL.........you know the real reason was to be able to eat more of it!

But actually, it would be pretty healthy then. It might give me a good dessert for that post-op pureed phase (that I am soooooo looking forward to).
