Servings: 15
Equipment
Ingredients
Crust.
- 1¼ cup Flour
- 1 cup Pecans. --Finely chopped.
- ⅓ cup Sugar Alternative. --Use a granular sugar alternative that can also be baked with and that measures like sugar.
- ½ cup Butter. --Use unsalted butter that has been melted.
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz Cream Cheese. --Softened.
- 1½ cups Powdered Sugar Alternative
- ½ cup Heavy Cream. -- At room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Pudding Layer
- 1.4 oz Sugar Free Instant Chocolate Pudding.
- 1.4 oz Sugar Free Instant Vanilla Pudding.
- 2 cups Whole Milk.
Topping
- 1½ cups Heavy Cream. --Cold as it will be whipped.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Sugar Free Powdered Sugar.
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
Instructions
- Crust. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Also, you can prep your baking dish lightly for nonstick if desired for an easier clean up. In a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour, chopped pecans, sugar alternative and melted butter until crumbly and a bit sticky. Press this mixture into your baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Then allow the crust to fully cool.
- Cream Cheese Layer. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar alternative, heavy cream and vanilla extract on high speed until smooth and fluffy (this can take a few minutes). Use a rubber spatula or similar item to evenly spread this cream cheese layer over the cooled pecan crust. Then place the baking dish into your refrigerator to set while you move on to the next step.
- Pudding Layer. Place the dry pudding mixes into a clean mixing bowl and use a whisk to gently combined them. Then add the milk and whisk the ingredients until well combined. Let the combined ingredients set for two minutes.
- Layer. When your refrigerated ingredients have set, carefully spread the pudding layer mixture evenly over the top of the cream cheese layer, avoiding mixing the cheesecake and pudding layers together. Place the baking dish back into the refrigerator while you make the whipped topping layer.
- Whipped Topping. While the ingredients are setting in your refrigerator you can make the top layer. In a clean mixing bowl, (best to use a stand mixer) beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract on medium speed. While the beaters are running, slowly and carefully add the powdered sugar alternative, a couple of teaspoons at a time. The whipped topping will begin to thicken as the sugar alternative is added. Once all the sugar alternative has been incorporated, you can increase the speed of your mixer to high and beat until you get stiff peaks, then immediately stop. (Too much whipping can have the opposite effect and deflate your cream).
- Top Evenly spread the whipped topping layer over the pudding layer Then, return the dessert to your refrigerator to set (at least a couple of hours).
- Serve When you are ready to serve your dessert, sprinkle the unsweetened cocoa powder over the top of the dessert and then slice and enjoy .
