I could go on with more $1,000.00 dessert recipes, but it’s depressing.  My last name is most definitely NOT Trump, and I can’t afford that.

So, let’s get back to real-world basics that “normal” folks like us can make.  How about:

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP CHEESECAKE

Serves:  8

1 (8-oz) package fat-free cream cheese

6 tbsp. Reduced-fat chunky peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 (4 serving) package sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix

1 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder

2 cups water

¼ cup whipped topping free

1 (6 oz) chocolate piecrust

1 (4 serving) sugar-free instant chocolate pudding mix

  • In a large bowl, stir cream cheese with a spoon until soft.
  • Blend in 6 tbsp. peanut butter and 1 tsp. vanilla extract.
  • Add dry vanilla pudding mix, 2/3 cup dry milk powder and 1 cup water.  Mix well using a wire whisk.
  • Blend in ¼ cup whipped topping.  Spread mixture into piecrust.
  • In a medium bowl, combine dry chocolate pudding mix, 2/3 cup dry milk powder and 1 cup water.

Look at it like this,  the last two dessert posts cost $1,000.00 to get.  This one gets you close to 1,000 calories if you eat enough.  Right?
