I don't know exact carb counts for this. I just made it last weekend for a work party where I am the only non-atkins person and it was a big hit. I broght hershey's syrup for the people who ate sugar and they could serve up themselves. I just ate it plain and it was good.

Sounds like a great recipe. I had a thought, tho. I wonder if you could melt an "Endulge" bar or two to swirl into the batter for a chocolatey taste. MMMMM, getting hungry just thinking about it.

lemon or lime jello cheesecake

1 small carton of whipping cream (half pint)
1 small lemon diet jello
2 oz. softened cream cheese
1 packets of splenda
vanilla

Whip the cream to soft peaks
desolve the jello in 1 cup of hot water
To the whipped cream add the hot jello mix, add the soft cream cheese, vanilla, and splenda.
With your mixer, blend all these ingredients until smooth.

Pour this mixture into a glass or corning dish ( it will be runny ) and then place into your freezer or refrigerator. I put it into my freezer for 15 minutes and it setup.

If you want a soft dessert put it into the refrigerator, if you want a frozen dessert this freezes well. You decide

We love the lemon flavor , so I decided to experiment and see if I could come up with a winner, I think I did, what do you think?? we just tasted this and I know I will be using this recipe when I need to make a dessert for special occations.


Happy Low carbing!
