Key Lime Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients
  • 6
    squares low-fat honey graham crackers, finely crushed (1/2 cup)
  • 2
    tablespoons margarine, melted
  • 1
    teaspoon sugar
  • 1
    4 ounce sugar-free low-calorie lime-flavored gelatin
  • 3/4
    cup boiling water
  • 1
    16 ounce container fat-free cottage cheese (1-3/4 cups)
  • 1
    8 ounce fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 1
    8 ounce container frozen fat-free whipped dessert topping, thawed
  • Key Limes or limes, cut in wedges (optional)
Directions

1. In small bowl combine graham crackers, margarine, and sugar. Press crumb mixture in the bottom of a 2-quart square baking dish. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

2. In large bowl combine gelatin and water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Set aside.

3. In blender or food processor combine cottage cheese and cream cheese. Cover and blend or process until smooth, stopping several times to scrape down sides. Whisk 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese mixture into the gelatin mixture. Whisk in remaining cottage cheese mixture until smooth. Fold in whipped dessert topping. Spoon filling over chilled crumb mixture.

4. Cover and refrigerate 8 to 24 hours or until filling is firm. To serve, cut in squares. Top with lime wedges. Makes 9 servings.

Try the new product Krisda for sugar substitute. It's made from Steevia, a natural product. It's super

Try adding the zest of one lime. Remove 1 tbs water and replace with fresh lime juice for more intense lime flavor. You can do one or both additions to taste. I like mine with lots of tart lime flavor.

i was a little disappointed. the cheesecake misture is kind of blah. i am diabetic and i thought it would be a good summer dessert. it needs some more lime flavor to it and possibly the splenda would be a good addition. i did not think of it until i was all done and tasted it.
