Sugar Substitute Cheesecake with Cottage Cheese
This is a no cook cheesecake desert for diabetics or for those watching their sugar intake, yet still would like dessert.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Tablespoon melted margarine
6 Plain graham wafers (2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches each)
1 Tablespoon granulated gelatin
1/3 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
Sugar substitute equivalent to 1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoon water
2 cups (16 oz) cream-style cottage cheese 4% fat
1/2 Tablespoon lemon extract
4 large strawberries
Directions:
1. Spray and coat an 8" x 8" x 2" cake pan with vegetable pan-coating; set aside.
2. Use a rolling pin or glass to make fine crumbs, with graham crackers (1/2 cup) and mix thoroughly with the melted margarine; set aside.
3. Soak gelatin in cold water. Combine boiling water and lemon rind; add to gelatin; add lemon juice and sweetener, stirring until completely dissolved. Chill until it is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.
4. Put 2 tablespoons water, cottage cheese, and lemon extract into a blender or food processor and cover; turn to high speed for 10-15 seconds. Add partially set gelatin mixture; turn to high speed 15 seconds or until well blended. Pour into prepared pan.
5. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over top. Wash, hull, and dry strawberries, then slice in halves lengthwise. Arrange on top of cake so that, when cut into eight servings (4 by 2 inches), each will have a strawberry garnish in center.
Chill several hours, until set.
Note: Can substitute a lower fat cottage cheese. But won't be as creamy.

OMG, I love cheesecake so much!! Yummy, you make this sound so good!!
Sandy, I am not a diabetic but that sounds really good and looks good also. I love cheesecake.
Sandy, I will definitely give this a try one day.
This is the third hub in a row, that I have witnessed pictures of sweets, so if you are after my heart you have won, so now give me a piece of that surprise. I am diabetic and I don't care, my blood is made of sugar so there! Rate up
Sounds good my boyfriend is semi-diabetic. I will have to show him this one thanks.
Cheesecake is my absolute favorite! But I'm a Type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetic, so I rarely eat dessert. Even without sugar, I watch carb intake. Still, this recipe looks good and I'll give it a try! great hub
This looks so yummy!
Very nice but I have to have my sugar ! LOL.
Nice, Sandy. I gained a pound, just reading.
It sounds great. Thank you for sharing.
This is a great hub, Sandy! Ia m going to try it.
Diabetics still have to watch the fat content but a little will probably be fine. A good recipe
Sounds delicious SandySpider. Not sure we have Graham Crackers over here though - do you know what would be a good substitute?
Hey Sandy, it looks good, but how about some chocolate on it? :-) (the sugar free kind, of course). Hey, your Amazon capsule says no Amazon results found.
Hey Sandyspider, a great hub. I am pretty sure my mother enjoys Cheesecake and she hasn't had any for a while. So, I'll give your recipe a shot. She isn't diabetic, but I'm also sure it won't matter much to her at 63 years old. Thank you for sharing and considering others(diabetics). It always nice to see people helping others. :) Rated up! :)
I have been away pretty much this weekend. It is good to see so many comments. Thanks so much.
Now to answer some questions:
zzron, Sugar substitutes are sweeter tasting than sugar.
David, No calories. Tell yourself that while eating it :)
ethel, There is lower fat content cottage cheese. Though it might not be as creamy. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out.
CMHypno, What about using shortbread cookies or vanilla wafers it you have them. Of course if they say low fat and sugar free, all the better.
NoRR4Me, The Amazon loaded for me. Maybe it was a glitch at the time. Chocolate it always a nice touch. I'm sure there is sugar free.
Speaking of diabetics, my mother-in-law was a diabetic. She always made room for dessert. Sugar free and fat free were not on her list.
yummyy,
thanks for the recipe, i love cheesecake so much =)
Thanks celinewayne.
Super recipe - we're not diabetic either but I decided a month or so back to try going on an anti-diabetic regimen and it really has helped! Bob was getting so tired all the time that I was worried and he was eating all the wrong foods (too much bread, bad carbs) - these tips and recipes really DO work if you take the time to change a few habits! Thanks for a great recipe....I need more!
And also an aphrodisiac too! No just kidding, I don't know that for sure, but it sounded good. Thank you we shall try.
Thanks akirchner and lightning john.
I know I haven't done too much in the June food contest. This month is a bit hecktic. Friday is the last day for recipes. Maybe I will add more when time is better.
Normally dairy products aren't known to be an aphrodisiac. But with the right frame of mind, I'm sure a person can get that working like it. :)
Nice recipe. I will have my daughter, who has saved my life with her cooking, look at this, Sandy.
Thanks bgamall for commenting.
Mmmmmm...passing this one on to my diabetic pal!
I'm sure your pal will like it habee.
I like cheese very much. And I found great recipes from this hub. Hmmmmm......yummy. Thanks Sandy you brought the happiness for us by share this recipes. I liked it very much. Thumbs Up for you.

I tried making the recipe onboard ship. My master loved it, and other officers crave for more. Thanks for this hub, Sandy.
Glad everyone loved it travel_man1971.
Yummy, now there a way to do cheese cake without worrying about too many calories. I have done some variations of cheese cake recipes myself. since I'm normally on a diet, I cheat a lot to. Thanks for a delicious hub. Rated it up.
Internetwriter62, it is easier to cheat and not think of calories.
Diabetic cheese cake sounds good for all! :)
Katiem2, anything that can help. We all love dessert.
Sandy: What a great hub! My family eats cheesecake all the time! Maybe even too much, lol. Awesome, helpful hub! Thanks for sharing! :)
You are welcome MaryRenee.
Delicious, for diabetics and others, why do I always feel hungry when I visit you, sandy
Katyzzz, I should add more recipe hubs to get your appetite up even more. LOL
I am so glad you wrote this! I am trying to diet, ( now that I quit smoking, I gained weight) and this is as was commented above, good for all! Parents should really try to incorporate low/no sugar treats for the whole family, diabetic or not! Great hub, and cheesecake is always a favorite!
Yes Faybe Bay, it is good to get into low or no sugar treats for the family. Especially those who have a sweet tooth, like me. You don't have to be diabetic to follow recipes like this.
This looks so yummmy ,i love cheese cake ,but i could not make , but now i have learned lot through your post ,so i will try to make .Thanks
Dr. irum, let me know how it turns out for you.
I love cheesecake and the fact that people with high sugar levelcan eat it is marvelous. Rated up and awesome and bookmarked. Afterall, I need to go back so I can make it. Thanks
I will try to make this cheesecake. It seems easy to prepare. This will also be good for my husband who is diabetic. I'll bookmark this hub. Thanks for sharing it.
Hope you get to make it. This is good for even non diabetics.
I am not diabetic but I love cottage cheese and who doesn't need to watch the sugar. Thanks for a great recipe!
Polly
Thanks Polly. I'm not diabetic either, but I know many diabetics who love all the wrong foods. This is something good for everyone.
makes me almost wish I wasn't a veggie - great work Sandy
Thank you, Sandy. I'm looking to add to our "diabetic recipe" collection, as we have a close relative with a recent diagnosis. And we LOVE our sweets!! This looks great!
Voted UP, USEFUL & AWESOME!
Glad this helped.
Loved cheesecakes, too! Thanks for sharing this!
