Cheesecake Recipe - Almost Fat Free!
Here's a great new recipe I created this weekend and it was quite a hit!
1 1/2 cups crushed Nilla Wafer cookies
1/4 cup margarine, melted
Mix together and press into pie plate to make crust. Bake 350 for 7-8 minutes.
In separate bowl, blend together:
1 pkg. Jell-o Instant Suger-free pudding, Cheesecake flavor
1 3/4 cups skim milk
Beat together until firm, then beat in:
1 pkg. Neufchatel cream cheese (1/3 less fat) (I haven't tried the fat free, but if someone does, let me know how it turns out!)
1 container fat free cool whip.
Beat together well until smooth. Pour into cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For a more "frozen custard" taste, freeze for at least 1 hour before serving.
I make one simmilar to this. I use the S/F Lemon pudding oh want to talk about yummy. Make them in small cups so you can just grab one from the fridge.
2Nd hint just use the waffer whole in a small cupcake cup fill about 2/3 full. That takes the fat out from the butter which may make some dump. I also sub splenda for sugar which also helps not dumping.
Fat free cream cheese is awesome.... doesn't change the flavor either.
I made a whole lemon cheesecake for Easter and I didn't tell anyone about the switch. They ate the entire 9x13 pan of them.
Becareful w/ the Fat free cool whip makes some people dump. FYI!!!!!
