www.eatingwelllivingthin.wordpress.com

1 1/2 cups sugar-free chocolate cookie or chocolate graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Two 8-ounce pkgs. reduced-fat cream cheese, softened (fat free works well, too...the stats are for reduced-fat)

1/3 cup Splenda

1/4 cup DaVinci sugar-free Raspberry syrup (or Torani, or any other brand)

2 cups Splenda-sweetened whipped cream (1 1/4 cups unwhipped) OR one 8-ounce container Cool Whip, thawed

1/2 cup sugar-free raspberry jam, warmed

Sugar-free dark chocolate shavings for garnish

.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl combine cookie or graham crumbs with melted butter. Press into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate. Bake for 7 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.

.

In a large bowl beat together cream cheese, Splenda, and syrup until smooth. Beat in 1/2 the whipped cream OR 1/2 of the container of Cool Whip. Pour filling into cooled crust. Spread warmed jam over the cream cheese mixture. Cover loosely with plastic wrap (try not to let the wrap stick to the jam – use 3 or 4 toothpicks if necessary) and chill for 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with remaining Cool Whip and chocolate shavings.

Makes 16 servings.
