NO-BAKE LEMON CHEESECAKE DESSERT, and BOOK SALE!

I apologize for the picture, but this was taken rather quickly as I was eating it, with my itouch camera, which is not a very good camera.  I have one left and could pretty it up for you and get a better picture, and maybe I will tomorrow, or maybe not. ;)  But I did want to share the recipe as it was so good and refreshing and easy and quick to make.                

NO-BAKE LEMON CHEESECAKE DESSERT                

8  ounces  philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese -- softened
7.6 ounces (1 can)  Nestle Media Crema table cream
1 tablespoon  lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon  lemon extract
12 drops  liquid sucralose -- OR sweetener equal to 1/2 cup sugar
Crust
1 tablespoon  coconut oil -- melted
12 drops  Capella graham cracker flavor drops -- (optional)
1/4 cup  flaxseed meal, golden
2 tablespoons  whey isolate, (I used Body Fortress super advanced, vanilla creme)
2 packets  Truvia

Crust: Melt coconut oil and add graham cracker flavor drops if using.  Set aside. In small bowl mix flaxseed meal, whey isolate, and Truvia. Add coconut oil and stir together until crumbly.  Press into bottom of 4 small serving bowls.

In medium bowl combine softened cream cheese, Nestle table cream, lemon juice, lemon extract, and liquid sucralose (Or sweetener equal to 1/2 cup sugar). Beat with electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Place a heaping 1/2 cup into each serving bowl. Chill before serving. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with sliced almonds, if desired. (Not included in nutritional info)
