Summertime Favorite Dessert!
Lime Dream Cheesecake is a favorite summertime dessert at my house. With the warm weather outside, it is a blessing that it does not require you to turn on the oven or any baking time! Once the Cheesecake ingredients are all assembled and completely blended, it only needs to be chilled in the refrigerator for 5 hours before serving.
I discovered this healthy and delicious recipe many years ago, It is very Weight Watcher-friendly; providing 6 servings – each with only 2 WW points. The recipe is also very flavor-friendly and versatile in that you can easily substitute Orange, Raspberry, Strawberry, or other flavored Jello for the Lime. All flavors make an equally yummy and distinctive Dream Cheesecake!
For the 4th of July and other patriotic holiday gatherings, I strongly recommend making a Strawberry Dream Cheesecake with a red/white/blue combination of border decor toppings including fresh strawberries, blueberries, and small dollops of cool whip.
