Cheesecake Delight

I just made the most amazingly delicious dessert ever.  Yes I've had weight loss surgery but there is absolutely no reason that I should deny myself my favorite foods.  I just need to figure out how to make them healthier.  Tonight I hit the holy grail of yumminess.  First, I got a wild hair up my butt and decided to make homemade whipped cream.  If you've never done this, take 10 minutes and do it.  It's rewarding watching the cream thicken and so delicious.  I will never eat canned whipped cream again.  Second, I decided I wanted cheesecake but I wanted to get my protein in while I ate it.  How did I accomplish all of this you ask?  Well, look at these pictures.



For the whipping cream you can buy the store bought stuff, I won't tell anyone!  The sugar free has lots of calories though so beware, but the homemade is pretty high in calories too still sugar free though.


Whipped Cream
1 cup Light Whipping Cream
1/4 cup Splenda
1 tsp vanilla extract

Make sure the bowl and mixers are cold, that seems to produce fluffier cream.  Mix the cream in the bowl until the cream starts to thicken.  Slowly add the Splenda and vanilla.  Keep mixing until it reaches the consistency of whipped cream.  Beware, if you over mix it will be the consistency of butter.  Trust me.  I threw a batch out

Protein Cheesecake
2 packs of FF SF Cheesecake Pudding mix
2 scoops of Pro Blend 55 Alpine Vanilla
2 cups of skin milk

I whisk the cheesecake and the protein together before adding ANY wet ingredients.  It seems to not clump if I do it that way.  Then I add the milk slowly.  Mix the heck out of it until smooth.  Then, slowly fold in 1 cup of that glorious whipped cream. 

Once you get it all mixed up pour it into whatever you want to eat it out of.  Since I'm on 2 ounce portions I poured mine into 2 ounce babyfood dishes and a couple 4 ounce ramekins for my hubby.  Total it makes 24 ounces.  Lots of yumminess to go around.  It would make a good pudding pop too I bet!


Excuse the mess!  My hubby was supposed to clean the kitchen.
