I once had a recipe for a sugar-free low-fat pineapple cheesecake recipe, but
have lost it. It was made with cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, unflavored
gelatin, and artificial sweetener. The topping was sliced strawberries,
sliced kiwi fruit, and sliced banana, glazed with thickened apple juice
concentrate. It was, obviously, a no-bake cheesecake. A "dusting" of crumbs
was used as a crust.

Anyone have such a recipe, or similar?

TIA

Find me sugar-free pineapple, kiwi, banana, and apple juice
concentrate and I will provide the recipe.

It should be obvious that the recipe was "no sugar added". DUH!

DUH!

Yes I see that but I must ask: what is the point of no added
sugar when there is enough natural sugar with the fruit and
juice to throw any diabetic's bg into the stratosphere?

Where exaactly did you read that this was for a diabetic?

If it makes any difference, it is for a weight loss diet where natural
sugar in fruit is permitted, and counts toward fruit exchanges. The recipe
was once published by Weight Watchers. Depending on the choice of cottage
cheese, it is either low-fat or fat-free. There is no regular sugar
(dextrose) added.

This surely isn't "sugar-free" in any sense of the idea. Pineapple,
strawberries, kiwi and bananas contain sugars. Concentrated apple juice
merely concentrates the sugars, and the thickener (unless a food gum)
adds more carbs. Crumbs add to the carb load, though not to sugars
unless they've cookie or cake crumbs.

So while no white or brown sugars are added to the recipe, there are
certainly sugars in it.

Yes, I know that. I should have referred to it as "no sugar added". The
only thickener is unflavored gelatin. IIRC, the crumb mixture was made
from dry bread crumbs, cinnamon, and a small amount of artificial
sweetener. The pan was very lightly coated with diet margarine, then
dusted with the crumb mixture.

I am quite aware that the fruits and juice concentrate contain sugar. The
recipe is for a weight loss program, not a diabetic diet. It was once
published by Weight Watchers, and sugars contained in fruit are permitted.

So, do you have a recipe, or not? I wasn't asking for a critique.

Hey, Wayne. Welcome to Usenet.

Parenthetically, I don't have such a recipe. Nor would I.

LOL! I've had many such welcomes, thanks. I rarely feel compelled to
respond to a request for something without attempting to include what was
requested, or at least something similar.

I have a recipe for a pineapple cheesecake, but it's not sugar-free, but I
guess you could alter it by using sugar-free ingredients.
