Hawaiian Pineapple Dew Cheesecake
Cooking Healthy with a Man in Mind p254
freezer friendly

Sometimes an ingredient inspires a wonderful new recipe, and I have to confess that when I saw the Hawaiian pineapple JELL-O, I knew I could make a terrifically flavorful cheesecake, rich enough to make Cliff feel as though he'd had a
vacation to Maui! Won't you join us at a dessert luau with this as
the centerpiece?

1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (4-serving) package JELL-O sugar-free Hawaiian Pineapple or Lemon Gelatin

2/3 cup Diet Mountain Dew 1 (6-ounce) Keebler graham cracker piecrust
3/4 cup Cool Whip Lite
2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce)
