OK, I'm still playing with this recipe....

My mom left 1/2 of her plain, non-fat Greek Yogurt at my house and I sampled it, didn't care much for the sour taste. (I think I just have to get used it). So, I added a packet of Splenda and a tbs of instant sugar free chocolate pudding (just the mix, not prepared!). The pudding really thickened it up and the texture reminded me of cheesecake. So, then I bought the sugar free cheesecake flavor instant pudding mix to try this:

mix together:
4oz non-fat, plain Greek Yogurt
11/2tbs sugar free cheesecake flavor instant pudding
2 or 3 packets of Splenda
1 drop of vanilla

Stir in a handful of fresh raspberries
Top with 1 crumbled graham cracker sheet

* Obviously, you can adjust the quantities to your own taste, omit/change the fruit or graham crackers.

It's a yummy little treat! I gave some to my husband last night and he loved it too!

    I wonder if that would work with just regular plain fat free yogurt...I think I might have to try it because I am missing my cheesecake soooooo bad!!

    sounds good!

    They have flavored Greek Yogurt as well. I really like the blueberry! Might be good with the cheesecake flavor added. =)

    I really like to make fake 'cherry pie'-- spread no sugar added cherry preserves on a graham cracker, and top with lowfat whipped topping. Quick, and better than eating buttery pie crust.

    Yes, I'm sure it would work with any flavor! The pudding mix just thickens it up and gives it that cheesecake texture!
