Skinny Strawberry Cheesecake Cake – No Added Sugar, Diabetic Friendly
This Skinny Strawberry Cheesecake Cake is SO delicious! You can’t even tell it’s low calorie. No sugar is added either, so it’s diabetic friendly too!
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. Â 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? Â Yeah – well, it’s not in this cake! Â What you get is a light & airy cake that is extremely reminiscent of a strawberry cheesecake, without all of the guilt (or the sugar!).
Now, if you’d like to make this – and you can have sugar, you’re welcome to just switch these ingredients around to the normal versions of them.
Interested?  Just a bit?  Yeah – I thought so by that drool coming of your sweet little chins.. 😉 Here’s what you need:
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! Â Not dense and icky like a lot of products I’ve tried. Â 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. Â Stir to combine (electric mixer works great for this!) – batter will be thick.
Spray a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray – or baking spray.
Pour in the cake batter, and spread around evenly.
Bake according to package instructions.
Once the cake is done, cool on a wire rack until completely cooled.
Now, lets get that icing done. Â 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.
Fold in one 8oz tub of sugar free Cool Whip.
Spread the icing evenly onto the cake. Â Refrigerate if not eating immediately.
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.

Do you think this recipe would still be good if I used one box of white chocolate and a box of cheesecake jello pudding? I accidentally picked up White chocolate flavor :/
I don’t see why not – white chocolate cheesecake sounds good to me!
My husband was diagnosed with diabetes 2 weeks ago. When I finally persuaded him to go to the doctor, his glucose was 490! Needless to say, our meal plan did a180. Just found you via pintrest. Will be scouring your site. Thanks for the recipes!
So glad you found me! I am continuing to add diabetic friendly recipes here! You can go straight to the diabetic friendly section at this link. Keep checking it too as I’ll be adding to it. I’m busy creating more diabetic friendly recipes that taste good, and I hope you enjoy them! 🙂 http://mrshappyhomemaker.com/category/diabetic-friendly
Recipe says skinny, but how many calories is a serving? In Pillsbury’s webpage, it says not a low calorie food for the mixes.
The cake mix made traditionally is not low calorie, but I cut down on calories by not using oil & by using skim milk. 1 serving of cake equals about 280 calories, but can vary if you cut a larger slice of cake.

Delicious recipe. I made them as cupcakes for a work event. You can’t really tell that they’re sugar free which is great! I’ll be making this recipe again!
