Healthy Exchanges Newsletter, July 2001, pg 1

I don't care for the taste of coffee - but I sure do love anything with a mocha flavor. This cheesecake didn't let me down!!!

2 (8 oz) pkgs Philadelphia fat free cream cheese
1 (4 serving) pkg Jello sugar free instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
1 1/3 cup Carnation Nonfat Dry Milk Powder*
1 cup cold coffee
3/4 cup Cool Whip Free*
1/3 cup (1 oz) chopped hazelnuts*
1 (6 oz) Keebler chocolate pie crust
1 (4 serving) pkg Jello sugar free instant pudding
1 cup water

In a large bowl, stir cream cheese with a sturdy spoon until soft. Add dry chocolate fudge pudding mix, 2/3 cup dry milk powder and coffee. Mix well with wire whisk. Blend in 1/4 cup Cool Whip Free and 2 tablespoons hazelnuts. Spread mixture into pie crust. Refrigerate while preparing topping. In a medium bowl, combine dry chocolate pudding mix, remaining 2/3 cup dry milk powder and water. Mix well using a wire whisk. Blend in remaining 1/2 cup Cool Whip Free. Spread topping mixture evenly over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons hazelnuts evenly over top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cut into 8 servings.
