I'm on a diet as many of you well know....I'm a FATTY, lol.
I am madly in love with cheesecake, but I stay away because I'd eat too much and it would be a disaster.
I love to cook, my question is this:
Do you have any low fat or fat free cheesecake recipes that YOU would reccomend. I thought of searching Google, but I thought it would be better to get an idea from someone who has tasted the recipe that they would recommend to me...
I've found Stevia at Trader Joes or any place that offers Health Food, same with Xylitol. Xylitol (where my mom gets it) comes in bags kinda like Sugar, but they're usually plastic.
I make one that is very simple. Just mix 1 tub of fat free cool whip with one package of low fat or fat free cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar. Put it in a graham cracker crust or just eat it with a spoon. It's a little different but it satisfy's the cravings!
That sounds like it would be more of a pudding pie than a cheesecake, does it come out with the same consistancy of cheesecake?
It's more like a cream pie, not as thick or firm as a cheesecake, but very yummy. Plus it's no bake so it's ready to eat in about 5 minutes. In fact, all this talk about it is making me hungry....

Try to use Xylitol or Stevia in the recipe instead, as they are NOT artificial sweeteners and they will not make you gain weight, they are sweet just like sugar and generally won't effect your blood sugar levels. We substitute Xylitol for sugar in almost everything (including homemade whipping cream, yum!) and I can't tell a difference. Hope this helps!
My wife and I use Splenda and have found that we cant tell it from sugar with the exception that it doesn't brown well.
I have even substituted Splenda for sugar to macerate lemon slices in making Shaker Lemon Pie and had excellent success.
The use of sugar substitutes is a necessity for us because I am diabetic.
Oh thats how most cheesecake recipies ive read have...they use sour cream. Hoenstly, you cant taste it
Well.. Yea its unhealthy but When i was a little porkster..it was sad to say "Hey im fat" so i tried to be nicer to my self while losing weight..now ..........I look gooood 8-) hahaha.
Sorry no help here as my first cheesecake as a child made me ill. I ate too much evidently or maybe it was just bad, but I've never enjoyed it since. I love fruitcake though!
