Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the sugar-free jello, 3/4 cup boiling water, and Splenda together until the jello is dissolved.
- Put the cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, and the jello mixture into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Fold in lite Cool Whip into the blended mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust.
- Chill in the refrigerator until the cheesecake is firm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before blending. If you prefer a different sweetness level, adjust the Splenda to taste or substitute with another sugar-free sweetener. You can also experiment with different flavors of sugar-free jello to customize your cheesecake pie, just like you could with Glazed Strawberry Cheesecake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve slices of this cheesecake pie chilled, and consider topping each slice with fresh berries or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce for added flavor. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or as a light dessert after a rich meal. For a fun twist, serve alongside Miniature Pizzas (Microwave) for a unique gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheesecake pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. It’s best served cold, so there’s no need to reheat it. If you want to freeze it, wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular cream cheese instead of low-fat?
Yes, you can use regular cream cheese, but it will increase the calorie count and fat content. If you’re looking for a lighter option, sticking with low-fat cream cheese is recommended.
What can I use instead of graham cracker crust?
You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a nut-based crust or a pre-made sugar-free crust. Alternatively, for a gluten-free option, consider using almond flour mixed with a bit of melted butter.
How long does it take for the cheesecake to firm up?
Typically, the cheesecake pie will need at least 4 hours in the refrigerator to set properly. For best results, chilling it overnight is ideal.
