No Bake Cheesecake!

I think Cream Cheese Frosting and Vanilla Pudding Just Had a Baby...



This is a picture of my no bake cheesecake. Just follow the recipe and use 1 1/2 cups of Heavy Whipping Cream and 1/2 cup of water instead!

Is it Pudding?! Is it Frosting?! Let's Just Call it AMAZING!! I mean seriously?! Holy crap. And You're going to wanna slap me silly and call me a liar when I tell you that this dessert is only 5 FREAKING CARBS per serving! (total and net)

Ingredients: (Makes 8 servings)

  • 1 (4 serving) box of Jell-o brand Sugar Free Instant Vanilla Pudding
  • 1 cup of Cold Water
  • 1 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 6 oz block of Cream Cheese


This recipe took me a whole 10 seconds and a mixing bowl to make, how easy is that? I'm all for things that require minimal cleaning and hands on cook time, especially with a home remodel, 3 kids, a husband, and 4 dogs to tend to. I know, right?!


Instructions:
Take your block of cream cheese and set it on the counter until it's room temperature and soft. If you forget like I did, put that bad boy on a plate and pop it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

I used a hand held mixer for the next part.


Dump the box of pudding into the mixing bowl, pour in the water and heavy cream. Mix until the pudding starts to set. Plop the stick of cream cheese in the pudding and continue mixing until it's all incorporated. 


And you're done. No seriously, that's it! This stuff is outrageously rich, so I used an ice cream scooper to dish it out, trust me when I say you do not want more than that. If you want it more rich, use more cream, if you would like it less rich, use a little more water. Just make sure no matter what you use some sort of dairy or the pudding wont set (it reacts with the proteins) and stick to around 2 cups of liquid as well.


I hope you guys enjoy! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
