Blueberry "Cheesecake" Pudding (diet)

"This is my attempt to make something that would have a feeling of a blueberry cheesecake but not break the bank in terms of calories and fat. As far as I can tell, the calories should be like this: 6 cups blueberries = 492 1 package fat free/sugar free jello = 100 (according to package) 125 g ultra low fat philly cream cheese = 150 (according to package) 2 tablespoons cornstarch = 61 4 teaspoons Splenda = 8 1.5 c skim milk = 135 total for whole recipe = 946 and the recipe makes 8, so one serving should be just under 119 calories."

  1. Yum! I halved the recipe which worked out just fine. (I had to eyeball how much of a package of pudding is half, but I think I was close.) I also could not find the Philadelphia cream cheese you were talking about so I used 1/3 less fat. While I would probably have liked more "topping" (who wouldn't want more of that part?) I was satisfied that my sweet tooth had been apeased. Nice texture and flavor. Something I will make again. Thanks so much!
