No bake cheese cake

petey49

Hi folks. Total non-baker here. I found a recipe for no-bake cheese cake that calls for cream cheese, cool whip, sugar and a few other things. To make this as low cal as possible, can I use splenda or the other stuff (Stevia?) instead of sugar?

yes you can but one more note about splenda it is made with a form of chlorine so anyone who has thyroid issues should NOT use splenda! Just an FYI....

Note about stevia and truvia- tastes gross.

Where did you find it? Can you send website or link or repost it? Sounds delicious and light!!

I use Splenda Blend in EVERYTHING! You only use 1/2 of what you would for pure sugar and it tastes great to me. Try using light cream cheese and lite cool whip to also lower the calories.

Thanks Jess804. I have a few friends who do have thyroid problems. Maybe I'll just keep the calories with sugar and not risk problems.

When I want a little something sweet, I serve myself some greek yogurt with VERY little crushed graham cracker and some blueberry compote (made w/ agave nectar). It's waaaay less fattening than traditional cheesecake, but is a good knock off!

At calories per serving 200, I think I am going to try the pumkin cheese cakes that was posted here, they only have 35 cal/serving.
