Let's face it, most of us like something sweet every now and then. Then there are those of us who love to nibble on something sweet more often. While moderation is the key word here, it's nice to know that there are options for getting that sweet tooth satisfied without all the guilt! That's about the essence of this old south peaches & crème brulee cheesecake.
This Paka Crème Brulee Cheesecake has at its core a box cake. But, not just any 'box' cake. This cake mix is like their tagline says, 'treat with benefits'. Rather than try to paraphrase the description, let me just quote it directly: 'Creamy and delicious, with a cheesecake like mouthfeel, Paka Crème Brulee baking mix will satisfy both your taste buds and your nutritional standards. Bursting with pleasant crème brulee flavor, you can whip up these delicious bars for a snack, meal, or dessert. Hunger cravings are kicked to the curb with 8 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber per serving. Whole, natural, and gluten free ingredients like almond and algal flour, and whey protein set this mix apart from any other in the industry. Boasting of only 3 net carbs per serving, Crème Brulee are completely diet friendly. While most desserts rely on harmful amounts of sugar to deliver sweetness, you will find only 1 gram of sugar in our Crème Brulee baking mix. Exquisite taste is achieved through the use of our Kakato™ sweetener, a prebiotic, low glycemic index, and fiber sweetener to give you the sweetness you crave without the added negatives of sugar. With Paka Crème Brulee baking mix, you can have it all.' As they say, baking just got healthier.'
So, I wanted to add on some goodliness to this mix with some added healthy healthy features, namely ricotta cheese and peaches. One thing that makes this recipe so very delicious is that it's so darn easy to make. When someone thinks of crème brulee AND cheesecake in the same thought, they might think 'oh, man, hard to make...I can't bake that...too complicated.' All those thoughts. But, quite on the contrary, this cake mix makes the entire process simple and foolproof! With only seven ingredients, you won't get lost, you won't be overwhelmed.
