Lower Carb Sugar-Free Strawberry "No Pretzel" Dessert

A lower carb, sugar-free strawberry jello dessert with real whipped cream!

Recently I was asked if I could make a sugar-free and lower carb dessert.  I'll be honest, I haven't experimented a lot with sugar substitutes so I'm not familiar with them.  I decided to make this strawberry "no-pretzel" dessert because there isn't a lot of sugar substitute in it and you only bake the crust so I knew I couldn't mess that up!  I omitted the pretzels and replaced them with pecans & almonds to make the perfect crust.  The filling is made with splenda, sugar-free jello, real whipped cream and it's all wrapped into one delicious dessert!

Banana Cheesecake with Almond Butter Crust

 

The other day my son asked for a cheesecake and at first I was going to make a regular one.  Then I noticed that I had some bananas that were getting old and wondered how the cheesecake would taste if I tossed those in too.  I decided to give it a try and it turned out very well.  I paired it with a rich almond and butter crust, topped it off with some fresh whipped cream and a drizzle of dulce de leche.  Usually I don't care for cheesecake, however this one has that delicious banana flavor which I enjoyed a lot!
