Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients together, saving the skim milk until last.
- Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes or more until smooth, adding enough skim milk to aid in smooth blending.

- Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before blending. If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding a little more Sprinkle Sweet or Sugar Twin, adjusting to your preference. You can also substitute the graham cracker crust with a nut-based crust for a gluten-free option. This cheesecake is a delightful alternative to traditional desserts and pairs beautifully with Easy Eclair Dessert.
Serving Suggestions
This cheesecake is delicious on its own, but you can enhance it with fresh berries or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream on top. It also pairs well with a cup of herbal tea for a light dessert option. For a complete meal, consider serving it after a hearty dish like Hardy Sausage Breakfast Casserole to balance flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to preserve its texture, avoid freezing, as it may change upon thawing. To enjoy, simply slice and serve cold—no need to reheat, as it’s best served chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular cream cheese instead of fat-free?
Yes, you can substitute regular cream cheese for fat-free cream cheese if you prefer a richer flavor. However, this will increase the fat and calorie content, which may not align with diabetic dietary needs.
How can I make this cheesecake without eggs?
You can omit the Egg Beaters and replace them with a mashed banana or applesauce, which can help bind the ingredients together while keeping the cheesecake moist. Adjust the sweetness to compensate for the natural sugars in these substitutes.
What can I use instead of a graham cracker crust?
If you're looking for a gluten-free option, consider using crushed almonds or walnuts mixed with a bit of melted butter as a crust. Alternatively, a pre-made gluten-free crust can also be a quick solution.
