Ingredients
Instructions
- Place drained pineapple in a blender with half of its juice.
- Add gelatin and hot water; blend for 2 minutes.
- Add dry milk, remaining juice, sugar substitute, vanilla, butter flavoring, and lemon juice.
- Blend for 3 minutes.
- Pour into a 10-inch pan, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon, and allow to set for 1 hour before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a small amount of Greek yogurt to the mixture before blending. If you're looking for a lower-calorie option, try using a different sugar substitute that suits your taste. Be sure to blend the mixture thoroughly to fully dissolve the gelatin and achieve a smooth consistency. This cheesecake can be topped with fresh fruit or a drizzle of Honey Lime Dip(For Use With Fruits) for added flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This diet pineapple cheesecake is perfect on its own, but you can enhance it by serving with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. It pairs beautifully with a refreshing fruit salad or a cup of herbal tea for a light dessert. For a unique twist, consider serving it alongside a slice of Sweet Potato-Cashew Bake for a delightful contrast in flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you prefer a firmer texture, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight before serving. Reheat gently in the refrigerator to maintain its texture, or let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
