Pretend Cheesecake
"This is a very good alternative to a fattening slice of cheesecake. If you follow a diet plan where you have a carb and a protein using portion control- this is a good one! Tastes fattening to me and anything that tastes fattening is GOOD!!"

Mmmm!! I often mix vanilla yogurt & cottage cheese together, but never thought to mix in cereal + cinnamon! When I saw this, I made the recipe immediately with whatever I could find in the pantry. Didn't have white chocolate pudding :( so I skipped it and played with the other portions. Since I used frozen unsweetened strawberries (sour!) I sprinkled a little Splenda on them after chopping. I also used Fiber One cereal and it turned out SOOO GOOD! I'll be making this from now on! (hopefully with the pudding mix next time ;) Thanks! -
Excellent. I really like this. I made a double batch so that I've got some more for later. I also omitted the cinnamon and used strawberry yogurt since I didn't have the vanilla and I was adding the strawberries. I put the Grape Nuts on the serving I ate and left them off the one that is sitting in the fridge.

This is now one of my favorite ways to have cottage cheese! I cut the recipe in half & only used about 2 tsp vanilla yogurt & 1 tsp sugar free/fat free cheesecake pudding mix. I added a little banana, a little whipped cream & a few Multigrain Cheerios. I also left out the cinn; actually I forgot to use it but it was fine! It really tasted sinful but wasn't! Can't wait to try other flavors; thanks so much for sharing this fun recipe. -
Great recipe! Great idea for a quick, low-cal treat and wonderfully versatile! I look forward to playing with other pudding, yogurt, fruit and cereal flavors. I shared this one with my Mom and Sis over the phone and they are both into making it now!! (this is exciting to me because we are not a recipe sharing family...I mean, I'll share but they normally don't care :) ) - THANKS Chef Mommie.

This was absolutely fantastic! I have had my eye on this recipe for a while now but never had the ingredients to make it. I am so glad I finally did. I only used half the amount of pudding because I found it plenty sweet and did not use cinnamon (wasn't in the mood) and it turned out divine. I will be wowing my boyfriend soon with this recipe. Thanks so much
