No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake
This recipe is in response to a reader’s request for a sugar-free brownie recipe. I could not find a brownie recipe, but I found this one from The Diet Docs’® Guide to Permanent Weight Loss. See my note below for more information.
Recipe
¾ cup reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs (about 12 squares)
2 tablespoons canola oil-based butter
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold water
4 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 packages (8 ounces each) fat-free cream cheese
Sugar substitute equivalent to 1 cup sugar
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup baking cocoa
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 ounce white candy coating
In a bowl combine cracker crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 375° for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly brown. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the semisweet chocolate and stir until melted.
In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, sugar substitute, and sugar until smooth. Gradually add the chocolate mixture and cocoa. Beat in vanilla. Pour into crust and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours or until firm.
Remove cheesecake from refrigerator and arrange raspberries on top. In a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt white candy coating. Stir until smooth. Drizzle or pipe over berries.
Carefully run a knife around edge of springform pan to loosen and remove sides of pan.

If you’re looking to lose some extra weight, I personally recommend The Diet Docs’® Guide to Permanent Weight Loss. I haven’t tried the chocolate cheesecake recipe, but my husband and I love and continue to cook many of the recipes from this book, even though we are not currently dieting.
For people with blood sugar issues and/or diabetes, I highly recommend checking out
Overcoming Runaway Blood Sugar. We have received so many letters from readers who have been helped by this book! As always, consult your doctor before beginning any weight lost and/or dietary program.
