I'm so excited to eat this dessert tonight! I found this recipe on Gina's Skinny Recipes blog and absolutely fell in love with it. I decided to make a few modifications and since I have my girlfriends coming over tonight I thought this would be the perfect thing to serve with some wine! I apologize for the picture though, I'd really love to have a better camera and cute place mats to place it over, but don't worry I'll get there! Anyway, this no-bake yummy cheesecake is around 200 calories and is really easy to make. Took me about 5 minutes! Hope you like it!

Awesome. How many servings do you get out of it where each serving is 200? I've been looking your WHOLE site over and am following. :)
Oh and who is Gina?

The strawberry cheesecake was great!!! Rick is still looking for more of it in the refrigerator -- sorry buddy, but we ate it all!!!
Karen I'm glad you enjoyed it! Susie, there are around 8 servings in the whole pie and you can find Gina's Skinny Recipes blog here: http://www.skinnytaste.com/. Thanks for so much following!
Thanks for letting me know how many servings. :)

Great looking blog! I sure wish that all these low fat ingredients were available here in the UK! That cheesecake looks amazing!
Thanks so much Marie! And sometimes it's fun to indugle so go ahead and use the regular ingredients! ;)
This looks amazing! I wish that we had low fat ingredients here in Israel. I miss splenda and low fat cream cheese. There is no such thing here!
I made this tonight...and before putting it into the crust, of course I had to take a little taste. I'm going to post at Gina's as well. It was delicious, BUT, for me a little too sweet. I think next time I will eliminate the sugar. It could certainly be MY taste... as I don't use sugar in coffee or tea, so....I'm accounting for that. I think tho, next time I make it, no sugar at all and see if it is sweet enough with just the cool whip.
Oh, haha, I'm back again. I wanted to add that IN the crust, with the crust, it tastes less sweet, almost the perfect bite. I will, however, eliminate the sugar altogether next time, as that would be my personal preference. This is a wonderful alternative to regular cheesecake, and I like that it doesn't require artificial sweeteners too. Highly recommended!
Aww I'm so glad you liked it!! I agree, the recipe is really sweet but I love it because I have such a sweet tooth! Thanks so much for trying it! :)
I love cheese.. and i love cheesecake! my mom asked me to make a nice Easter dessert so I went on your blog since it is all about healthy eating and I picked one of your desserts to make; this one! I haven't had the chance to eat it yet since it is only the afternoon but I cannot wait to try it tonight! Thanks for the recipe! it looks really good and I am glad there are alternatives when it comes to making a dessert that isn't a bagillion calories!
