Someone recently posted a request for a sugar-free cheesecake recipe. I sent
her my favorite recipe but since it is such a good and easy to make recipe I
thought other diabetics might want a copy so I am posting it here for anyone
else who might be interested. It really goes together easily and is a
favorite
with non-diabetics.

SUGAR-FREE CHEESECAKE

Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 1/3 cups milk
1 package (4 serving size) sugar-free vanilla instant pudding
Fresh fruit (My favorite - and everybody else's favorite - is fresh
strawberries but I also like fresh blueberries)

1 prepared graham cracker pie shell - on my diabetic diet I am allowed a
small amount of graham crackers but if you cannot have graham crackers just
pour the mixture into a plain pie pan

To Prepare:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add milk, beating until creamy. Add
pudding mix; beat until smooth and thickened. Pour half of this mixture into
graham cracker pie shell (or plain pie pan if preferred). Place a layer of
fresh fruit on top of this mixture (if using strawberries chop the berries
into small pieces - if using blueberries I place whole berries on mixture).
Pour the other half of the mixture on top of the fruit, completely covering
the fruit. Top with whole fresh fruit. Refrigerate and enjoy.

This recipe can be made quickly and is a favorite dessert of mine.
