No Bake Vanilla-Orange Cheesecake

This is a great Shavuot treat.

Yield: 8 servings

• non-stick cooking spray
• 1 (3-ounce) package sugar-free, orange flavored jello
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup orange-flavored tea, cooled
• 1 cup 3% soft white cheese, drained
• 8 ounces farmer cheese
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 (4-ounce) container light whipped topping
• 3 tablespoons sugar-free vanilla pudding
• 3 tablespoons low carb, low-fat soy milk
• 6 thin orange slices, cut in half (optional)

Line a small springform pan with baking paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Mix the jello with the water until the powder is dissolved and there are no bumps. Add the tea. Stir and set aside. Beat the cheeses, salt and vanilla with a mixer until fluffy. Whip the topping in a mixer on a medium setting. Slowly add the vanilla pudding. As this mixture starts to thicken, add the soy milk. Mix until it is all incorporated. With a spatula, fold all 3 mixtures together. Pour into the prepared springform pan; smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until well set. Garnish with orange slices before the cake is completely set. Remove sides of pan just before serving.
