Skinny Strawberry Cheesecake Cake - no added sugar!

Some of you may be noticing something kinda strange going on over here at the Mrs.  All of a sudden, I’m posting some healthier recipes along with some sugar free/low sugar recipes. Well, my husband is a newly diagnosed diabetic – and it’s been my mission since he was diagnosed to develop some yummy recipes with his health in mind. Now, those of you who are looking for things like my Mama’s buttermilk biscuits, some good ol’ chicken fried steak, or butter pecan cake – don’t ya’ll worry… those kind of things aren’t going anywhere. I’m a strong supporter of everything in moderation – and I love bringing you all a variety of recipes, so think of this as just a new recipe category! 🙂

Now, for those of you who are looking for some new diabetic friendly recipes – or maybe just wanna eat something skinny, well you’re in for a treat.  Not only does this Strawberry Cheesecake Cake not have any added sugar, but it’s actually incredibly delicious.

You know that icky sugar-free aftertaste a lot of diabetic friendly dessert recipes have?  Yeah – well, it’s not in this cake!  What you get is a light & airy cake that is extremely reminiscent of a strawberry cheesecake, without all of the guilt (or the sugar!).

Pillsbury has these fantastic sugar free cake mixes that have come out, and boy – they taste just as good as the traditional version – and are super fluffy too!  Not dense and icky like a lot of products I’ve tried.  They work fantastic here, as does the sugar free versions of jell-o!

First step, combine 1 small box of sugar free cheesecake jello pudding & mix it with 1.5 cups of low-fat (or fat free) milk – stir to combine with a whisk until the pudding has gotten thicker.

Now, add in the box of Pillsbury sugar free yellow cake mix along with 3 eggs.  Stir to combine (electric mixer works great for this!) – batter will be thick.

Once the cake is done, cool on a wire rack until completely cooled.

Now, lets get that icing done.  Afterall, isn’t that the best part of a cake?

Take your second small box of sugar free cheesecake pudding, & mix it with 1.5 cups of lowfat (or non fat) milk. Stir with a whisk until thickened & pudding is set.

Serve each slide with a couple of freshly sliced strawberries. You’ll want to add the fresh strawberries at the time of serving instead of piling them on top of the cake to avoid any of the berries going bad before their time.
