35 cal pumpkin cheesecake bites

I was looking for something like this. I want to bring treats into the office on Monday and am not much of a cook or baker.

What is pure stevia versus splenda or what the recipe calls for? Also can you use low fat cottage cheese?

Yeah, I used low-fat cottage cheese - I don't see why you couldn't use any cottage cheese you wanted.

Pure stevia is a really fine powder - they don't sell it in a ton of places. You can't substitute it 1:1 for regular sugar or the splenda that's made for baking, because it's much sweeter/more concentrated. 1 serving for coffee is like 1/32 of a tsp or something ridiculous like that. Common stevia products have fillers/additives and it's not as concentrated, so you use more of it to make something as sweet vs. using pure stevia. To be honest I don't know the exact conversion - I used about 1/2 a tsp of pure stevia or something small like that for the batch I made. Here's a website about it: http://www.quick-weightloss-solutions.com/stevia-for-cooking.html

Make sure you make a test batch and have an alternative in case it doesn't work out. It took me a couple tries to get it right - you have to blend it really smooth (cottage cheese chunks cook a little funny), and I had to cook it longer than the recipe called for.

idk about these...it sounds nasty

To each his (or her) own - but it would have been nice if you had actually tried them before passing judgement. It's one thing if you tried it and didn't like it, but another to post something like this when you haven't even tried it. I realize not everyone will want to try every recipe - if it doesn't sound appealing to you, read it and move on... there's no reason to post a comment like that.
