If this tastes like cheesecake then this is better than cold fusion

Ain't this a bitch. I buy all the ingrediants to make a somewhat healthy cheesecake and i just snag any old pie crust off the shelf since im juggling like a bag of sweet potatoes in one hand and like 9 small packages in the other (real men don't need carts). I get home and read the ingrediants on the pie crust. And it has a crapload of partially hydrogenated oils in it. Defeats the fooking purpose.

You can make your own crust....
I have to agree that some stores do NOT carry healthy crust (most do, for I bought a Fat-Free one the other day)......

Good to know the next time I make one of these. I'm baking it up with the hydrogenated crust as we speak

It came out more wet than dry as would be a real cheesecake. I think it was because I didn't add a big enough banana or enough cream cheese. It did taste pretty damn good though. When you made yours, MrX, did it come out dry or puddingy?

Nope, mine was more wet but had the puddingy texture like cream cheesecake is supposed to. Hey, if it tasted good that's all that counts lol.

You can make it wet by decrease the cooking time, instead of 45 min, try 30 min at 200(F). That might be the answer.....

Mr X....

.... when I start my bulking phase I'd like to try your cheesecake.

But how much water do you dissolve the pudding in?

And since I can only find VANILLA or CHOCOLATE fat-free pudding, how would I make a vanilla or chocolate version?

To dissolve, use 6-8oz. of water........

You would use the same guidelines no matter the flavor, eg chocolate/vanilla etc.
