Best. Cheesecake. Ever.

mama_steph · 08-04-2009, 08:25 PM

Okay so I was making some homemade SF jello and I noticed a yummyyyy recipe on the back of the KNOX box of gelatine. I made it...and I tasted it...and OMG Best LC Cheesecake EVER!

1 envelope KNOX Unflavored Gelatine
1/2 cup of Splenda
1 cup boiling water
2 8oz packages of cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract

1.) Mix gelatine with Splenda in small bowl; add boiling water and stir until completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.

2.) Beat cream cheese and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until smooth; slowly beat in gelatine mixture.

3.) Pour into dish of choice. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.

You can cut it as small as you like, I will be cutting mine into 8 servings.

The entire recipe has:
1,623 Calories
158.2g Fat
22.9g Carbs
34.2g Protein

So 8 servings would be:
202.8 Calories
19.75g Fat
2.86g carbs
4.3g protein
*approx. 2 oz of cheese per serving*

Enjoy!!!!!

Mmm, sounds great. I think I am going to try making this soon. Thanks for posting this!

verbqueen · 08-04-2009, 10:55 PM

I like the no eggs and, in this weather, the no baking! I'm printing this out to try--thanks!

SharonB61 · 08-09-2009, 12:21 PM

Oh yeah, baby!!! I'm definitely going to try make it this week. I'm craving cheesecake......

gk3733 · 08-09-2009, 01:51 PM

Hi Steph!

I make this exact thing except I use 1 package of sugar free jello which replaces the Knox and the splenda in this recipe. My favorite flavor of sugar free jello to make cheesecake with is lime... mmmm. I have even served this to non LC family with a dollop of whipped cream and they loved it as well.

Teefie · 08-09-2009, 07:04 PM

I think I'll try it, too

LCPisces · 08-09-2009, 07:10 PM

Ooh, that sounds MUCH better than the egg one I tried.

mama_steph · 08-10-2009, 06:30 AM

Glad you all love it SO much!!!
I will def. make it with the lime SF jello next time. I have a complex about plain gelatin.. it just smells like this cheap candy that my candy make made when I was a kid. ahaha And key lime pie is my favoriteeee thing ever so I will give that a try! Thanks!

Do you mix up the lime jello per usual: 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup cold along with the rest of the ingredients except the splenda?

KellBell1234 · 08-17-2009, 01:48 PM

I love cheesecake and this sounds super easy! thanks for sharing!! I am making this very soon!!

NurseMonkee · 08-17-2009, 02:05 PM

Try making a small portion first. I tried it last year and it was a bit too jelly-like for my taste. It didn't taste smooth/rich like real cheesecake.

StyngerIsAScorpio · 08-17-2009, 08:51 PM

I picked up the Knox and cream cheese today at the store....I'll be giving this a try tomorrow!

ocbeachbaby · 08-26-2009, 05:18 PM

I'm loving this stuff. Very creamy. I made it with the lime jello. Now I want to try cherry or strawberry!

Teefie · 08-26-2009, 07:39 PM

I made it this week. Pretty good treat!

StartingOver · 08-27-2009, 04:46 AM

I made this last night subbing cherry sf jello for the knox and it is soooo good

Thx for the ideas!!

Do you still only dissolve the SF jello in 1 cup of boiling water and not add the 1 cup cold as usual when making the regular SF jello?

Yep, I did not add a cup of cold water just dissolved it with 1 cup boiling til dissolved.

ocbeachbaby · 08-28-2009, 04:15 PM

I'm having some right now!

Teefie · 08-29-2009, 06:26 AM

I made it last week and it lasted the whole week. Very tasty, has a key lime taste to it.

vli1127 · 08-30-2009, 12:49 PM

I just made this with the lime SF jello. I can't wait to try it later. It sure tasted good when I was licking the beaters and bowl LOL.

ocbeachbaby · 08-31-2009, 04:57 PM

I'm getting ready to make some with Rasberry SF Jello.

vli1127 · 09-01-2009, 07:27 AM

I think I need to add more sweetner of some kind when I make it again. This was quite tart, tolerable, but tart. At least using the lime SF jello.

lvgal · 09-06-2009, 08:59 PM

Yum!
I dont mean to sound dense.. but how do you do it with the jello?

You disolve the jello with hot water, then you beat in cream cheese and let it set?

Thanks!

Yep, that's it. Simple, my kind of recipe.

dbkate · 09-07-2009, 05:32 PM

I enjoyed it! Made it with strawberry jell-o and it turned the most delightful pink color. It has a bit of yogurty taste which people might really enjoy, I'm thinking in the soft form it would be an excellent yogurt substitute

I'm going to make the other flavors, mostly to see how the colors come out. LOL!

StarsInEyes · 10-05-2009, 11:28 AM

That sounds delicious!

I'll have to try it sometime.

I didn't really like the lime flavor either -too tart. I think I'll try it with the KNOX or maybe strawberry next time

vli1127 · 10-16-2009, 05:26 AM

I made this last night using 2 boxes of peach SF jello. That was good. But the 2 boxes made this quite firm. If doing this again, I would pour it into a square pan and cut into squares.

mrsmordru · 10-18-2009, 03:37 PM

HI

I made this last night with cherry SF jello. Tried it this morning and it is GOOD! My friend came over and I gave her some, she loves it too.

I made it in a 8x8 casserole dish but it is not too easy to get out. I think next time I will pour it into cups for individual servings.

OHHH I wonder how this would work with a jello base that is set, pour this on top and then whipped cream? Parfait any one? gonna try that next weekend

Thanks for the recipe!
