Guilt Free~Cherry Berry Cheesecake Dessert

So being on this healthy kick for almost two weeks now has really given me a challenge when it comes to desserts. You all know I love my butter and sugar.  I did manage to come up with this GUILT FREE, that's right folks GUILT FREE dessert that tastes pretty darn good. A Cherry Berry Cheesecake Dessert to be exact. Very simple in it's preparation and quite satisfying when you are losing your mind over the sugar detox that is taking place in your body. :)
Try it out and let me know if you think it is worthy of being a go to dessert for the healthy days.

Cherry Berry Cheesecake Dessert

1 box sugar free cherry jell-o
1 box sugar free cheesecake pudding mix (instant)
1 3/4 cups skim milk
1 1/2 cups boiling water
3 cups sliced strawberries

In a medium bowl add the water and bring to a boil in the microwave. Add the jell-o packet and stir until dissolved. Place this in the freezer until it has cooled down but still liquified.
In a separate bowl, pour in the milk and whisk in the cheesecake pudding mix.
Once the mixture has thickened pour it into a medium casserole dish or small trifle bowl.
Top the pudding with the sliced berries.
Slowly pour the cooled jell-o mixture over the top. Cover and refrigerate until set.

Here is my finished product. Super Duper Easy!

I just remembered !!!

As I was going through my posts from last year I noticed that I put a very tempting, teasing picture of a most delicious cake that I had made for Easter. Remember this one?

One thing I failed to do was another post of the recipe. Now that was not very nice of me was it? I mean really, who forgets something like that? But then I thought to myself, "Oh, they probably wouldn't want that old recipe anyway". Seriously, would you? Oh, Alright!!! Enough messing around with your head. I will post it for you. I suppose that it will help bring a little Spring and Summer warmth to all of this cold weather we are having. Miami even got some winter temps this week. I guess we can all use a little warming up. Just keep thinking beaches,tropical sunsets, beaches,tropical sunsets. Okay Good. Now you are ready. I hope you all enjoy making this delicious cake.

Tropical Sunset Cake

For the cake:

1 pkg. orange cake mix (I use Duncan Hines)
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 small box of orange jell-o
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup oil
pink food color (optional)

For the filling:
1 20oz. can crushed pineapple (drained)
2 cups sugar
1 10oz. pkg flake coconut
1 c. sour cream
1 8oz. cool-whip
toasted coconut for the top.

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine first 6 ingredients and mix well. Pour equal parts into 3 greased 9" cake pans.
(you can color 1/3 of the mixture with the food color for a pretty sunset effect)

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire rack. Cool layers completely before frosting

In another large mixing bowl, combine pineapple, sugar, coconut,and sour cream.
Mix well and remove 1 cup and set aside.

Place one cake layer on cake plate and top with 1/3 of the pineapple mixture. Repeat layers 2 more times. Combine Cool-whip and the reserved cup of pineapple mixture. Mix well and cover sides and top of cake, Sprinkle toasted coconut over top and refrigerate.

ENJOY!!!
