sugar-free?


super-bowl sunday - and i didn't want to fall completely off the 'diet-wagon'! so here was my attempt...and a good one it was! brad's most favorite quick dessert is jello instant cheesecake! i thought i had a box mix in the house but as it was i did not! so research on the computer and i found a recipe for an 'instant' recipe! when i looked at it i thought - hey, that would work as 'sugar-free'! better for all of us! they were amazingly good ... super light and creamy. you could dollap sugar free jam on top instead of the light sugar pie filling. so i have to share the recipe! you will not be sorry...and they are super easy to create!
Crust:
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
2 T. melted REAL butter
2 T. splenda
mix this together. i used small cupcake liners (2 biters!) or you can do a pie plate!
Filling:
(yes, really there are only 3 ingredients!!!)
1 8 oz. container sugar free whipped topping
1 8 oz. block light cream cheese
2 T. splenda
let all warm up a bit. Mix with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Fill your 2 biters or pie plate. I made a little 'dip' in the middle to hold the filling.
Cool in fridge...ENJOY!!!
