I have been searching for a easy but tasty cream cheese recipe that didn't involve baking. I think I found it, and it's as creamy and tasty as you can imagine, without a single egg. I used sugar to sweeten, but I suppose you could use a sugar substitute like Splenda. Otherwise, I kept the recipe to fat free cream cheese, non fat cool whip and lowfat yogurt. I cheated and added a little mascarpone cheese for creaminess.
Filling Ingredients - 2 - 8 0z Packages no fat cream cheese
- 4 - oz of marscapone cheese
- 3 - limes for juice and zest
- 1 - 6 oz KeyLime Kiwi Low fat yogurt
- 2 - tablespoons coolwhip
- 1 - Packet Knox gelatin
Glaze:
- 3 - Tablespoons marmalade or apricot preserve
- 1/3 - cup water 1/4 - sugar - optional
Crust:
I used a ready made gram cracker crust, but make your own. This recipe is meant to be a bake free to save a little time...
Bring cream cheese to room temperature and simply mi
x yogurt, marscapone, lime juice and zest until smooth. I did it by hand but your mixer will be better hehehe... fold in the cool whip. Prepare the gelatin as directed and add to mixture, incorporate completely, pour in to the pie shell and place in the refrigerator to 
cool. In the meantime you can prepare the glaze, in a sauce pan, add the water, sugar and marmalade until smooth and simmer to a boil, remove from heat. Peel and slice the kiwi and whatever other 
fruit topping you want to use. After pie has cooled, top with the Kiwi and other toppings, brush the glaze over the fruit to prevent it from browning. When ready to serve or present, add whipped cream. Or you could use a stabilizer in your whipped cream to keep it stiff longer. There you go... a low fat, Kiwi Lime Cream Cheese Pie.
