I love how light and refreshing this is. A regular cheesecake can be very rich and heavy. But this one is perfect for summer. I will definitely try other flavors of crystal light.

A simple way to put cheesecake on the table quick. I used low fat cream cheese since it was already in the fridge. Beat the daylights out of it and then added the Crystal Lite (generic brand actually). The end result was very creamy and I've seen the finished product disappearing rapidly from the fridge! TIP: The "on the go" packets of Crystal Lite that you mix into a regular size bottle of water are 1 tsp, so that's an easy way to make this recipe.

This recipe makes me a believer that lowfat can actually taste great! My family even enjoyed it!

Nice change from other cheesecakes. I adapted the steps, 1. I beat the creme cheese by itself till smooth, 2. I dissolved 1 1/2 teaspoons Rasberry / Lemon Crystal Light in the skim milk added the mixture slowly as you indicated. I also added fresh raspberries on the top. It was very good and I will make again. Thank you for sharing this easy recipe.
