ok, this is now a new favorite in my family. I found the recipe at www.truelemon.com and I just happened to have fresh blueberries...

http://www.truelemon.com/recipes_des_nsaclp.cfm

above is a link to the recipe. i couldn't get it to copy and paste...

here is my version :

1 1/2 cups whipping cream.
1 spash vanilla
1 cup splenda

whip all that together to make George's Whipped Cream

2 8 ounce pkgs softened cream cheese
5 packages True Lemon (I used 4 lemon, and one Lime just for a kick)
1/2 cup splenda

mix all that together, and then add it to the whipped cream a little at a time. (I used my KA mixer and it made it SO easy!!!! almost too easy... this dessert may be my new go to dish)

anyway, I poured it in a graham cracker crust and topped it with blueberrys. Refrigerate at least an hour....

This truelemon stuff is gonna be great to have around. They make lime and orange too.

Sounds like a good recipe. I will have to try it. I love lemon pies & cheesecake. I think that new lemon product might be good to use in my yogurt, too. Donna

It really is good. one packet is supposed to give you 25% of your daily vitamin C.

How many carbs would that end up being Dinah? My husband and I are still in the beginning of this. We are past the induction faze. I was looking at the Graham crust and it has 14 carbs alone. I was thinking that we are only to have 20 all day. If you have a crust recipe that is lower in carbs please share or tell me where to go to get it. Many thanks.

i used a graham cracker crust for the "others", and I made me one without a crust. You could use Rachels crust from the Praline Punkin pie recipe, and i'm sure that would work. But really, it doesn't "need" a crust. Just lots of blueberries!

I made one of these again yesterday, but used strawberries instead. it's good, but the blueberrys just go so good with the lemon flavor.

hope you enjoy it! and I don't know the carb count, cause I don't usually count carbs. I used to have a recipe calculator to run it through, but I don't know what I did with it.

I've been making one very similar to this one. I use less cream and unflavored gelatin to help it set up. I also use the True Lemon and True Lime combos. Lately, I've been making it without the crust and figured it up to be about 3 carbs per piece if you cut it into 8 slices.

I also make one chocolate flavor using cocoa powder instead of the True Lemon/Lime.

They definitely help when I'm in a "pudding" mood.

Between that and the chocolate bark I'm definitely set!

My goal is to stay off desserts for two weeks cuz I gained like 8 pounds while I was gone. I kept getting on different scales because I couldn't believe it was so. TURNS out, it was so and every scale I got on was NOT wrong...sigh.

Anyhow, why did I come in this room? Because this sounded so dang good, that's why. You people are evil.

I think this may be the first thing I make in two weeks. WAIT, make that 12 days...buh ha ha ha!!!

I gotta say, you won't be sorry... or maybe you will! LOL

I made it again over the weekend with strawberries cause I couldn't find blueberrys, and it just isn't the same. I made it on Saturday, and on Sunday found some BB's, and my darling husband had picked out the strawberries and replaced them with the BB's!

Oh well, more strawberries for me!

Really is super simple with a stand mixer. (I LOVE MY KA!!!) Almost too easy.... And the True Lemon/lime/orange stuff is my newest addition to my stocked pantry! What a lifesaver. I'll never throw out another lemon as long as I live!

I was just looking at the True Lemon site. I had never heard of the stuff before. It sounds great! I love lemons! Thanks Dinah!

I would use the True Lemon on much more than this dessert. When I make fish I love to drown it in lemon juice. I like to drown chicken breasts in lemon juice once in a while too. Usually I use the bottled stuff but I'll use this now since the bottled stuff really has zero nutritional value (all the vitamin c is leached out during the pasteurization process--I did not know this until recently). And I want to try that lime chicken recipe on the site too. Sounds yummy.

Question: Is that a total of 1 1/2 cups of whipped, whipping cream? I guess I'm asking, do you measure out 1 1/2 cups of cream and then whip it? Or is that 1 1/2 cups already whipped? Does this make sense?

Angie, to be honest, I didn't measure it Embarassed

.

I'd say 1 to 1 1/2 cups before whipping. The less you use, the denser the cake will be. Both times I've made it, it was lite and airy.

yer makin me hungry!
