I made a cheesecake. You must think I must be totally out of my head to even consider that a term that contains the words "Cheese" and "Cake" could ever be low fat. I'm here to prove you wrong. I made a Strawberry Cheesecake without cheese and strawberries.
What you need:
1 package strawberry flavored low-fat, sugar-free pudding mix. [One that asks you to mix 750 ml (3cups) to it]
1 cup of low-fat yogurt, hung for 2-3 hours or just use a really creamy variety without the hanging
1 cup of muesli
1 tbs melted butter or yogurt whey
1 tbs powdered gelatin
1 bar strawberry fruit bar (optional)
What you need to do:
1. Prepare pudding as per instructions only one major modification: reduce the 750 ml(3cups) of milk to 500(2cups) ml of milk. You need to get a really thick and extra sweet pudding. Leave aside to cool.
2. Crush the muesli in a bowl and pour melted butter or whey (makes it slightly soggy but if your really cutting down this is the way to go) and line in a clip cake tin or quiche tin. Freeze for 10 minutes.
3. Puree the cooled pudding with the yogurt and pour into a mixing bowl.
4. Dissolve gelatin in hot water and pour into the pudding mix, stir vigorously. Pour over muesli lined tin. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours till firm and set.
5. Cut pieces of the strawberry bar for garnish.(optional)
6. Cut into REALLY large slices and enjoy; you can afford to!
The pudding should look this thick:
And that's the final cheesecake:

Aalia, your stuff looks amazing. Sanaa is just raving about it and I feel like grabbing a slice. Now there are two reasons why I want Sanaa to come back to this side of town.
I don't know why but I've always been averse to stuff made with gelatin. Reminds me of chinagrass halwa my nani makes (good to have, but only occasionally). But I need to research a bit more on this and see where it takes me.
@Disha: Thanks Disha! I'm really flattered. Kabhi bhi aa jao.. just tell me when and I'll cook up something good! :)
@Shaheen: Thanks Shaheen. Yes I agree Gelatin does make it a bit like Chinagrass pudding but if you use it in small quantities u can avoid that from happening. However I admit since I tried to make this so low fat, it turned out quite firm but if you want a creamier finish its a good idea to substitute the yogurt with a cup of whipped cream and it would taste just like a regular cheesecake. But then you may need a bit more gelatin to hold it together.
About the Cake Stand; yes it is a cake stand and I got it real cheap! believe it or not, the American Dollar Store(Nirmal Lifestyle Mulund, phoenix mills etc)is excellent for cheap crockery. I got this one from there.
