This is one of my favorite flavors. I'm kind of 'squeaking by' on the 15 calorie additions, here, and I had to go through a bit of nutrition fact gymnastics to figure this out, BUT, a teaspoon of the Jello SF,FF cheesecake pudding has about 17 calories in it. A single package of this dessert mix has the ability to make 6 shakes taste like delicious, creamy cheesecake. It will also change the consistency of a shake to something more like soft serve ice cream. THIS is how I manage to stay on a diet. (Now if only there was a magic bullet for getting me to continue to improve on my exercise minutes.) I also love black cherries. I tried to use SF, FF jello cherry gelatin for a straight 'cherry cheesecake' flavor, but there is a grainy texture when using gelatin powder that is a bit strange to me. I'm thinking of getting some of that sugar free cherry flavoring for snow cones to try for the cherry flavor. (It's on sale at the end of the summer.) Stay tuned for that. On to the recipe:
12 to 15 black cherries, washed, halved and pitted
1 teaspoon Jello SF, FF cheesecake flavored pudding mix
1 scoop vanilla HMR Shake powder
3/4 cup water
8 - 10 ice cubes, or a cup of crushed ice
Put the water and cherries into the blender, and mix until cherries are almost liquified. While still mixing, add vanilla shake powder. Then add cheesecake powder. Add ice cubes one at a time, or crushed ice slowly. With the pudding powder, the consistency gets very thick very quickly, so be aware that it becomes more difficult to mix. I turn my blender to high and use crushed ice to ensure that all of the ice gets crunched up. Use a rubber scraper to get all of the shake out of your blender. I use a spoon to eat mine, but it does melt a bit if left to stand at room temperature.
