Graduation - Explosion Boxes

 Graduation is upon us. I love how these two boxes turned out... I did a step-by-step video but it was over an hour long & I got bored with me *lol* Can't image how bored you all would be *lol* .. I will do another video showing each step but shorten it down .. Hopefully have it posted in the next day or so.

Here is a short video showing you the inside of the box..

These boxes are a great way to give gift cards or money, and they are great for any occasion. Please know I do make them and sell them as well.

Recipe Wednesday - Lowfat Individual Size Cherry Cheesecake

  If you haven't tried the new craze you need to!!! These individual low-fat Cherry Cheesecake desserts are the bomb and the perfect size!!!

Darla's Version

Layer in jar or small container

1st Layer -

1/2 Grahm Cracker crushed to your consistency liking I did mine fine..

2nd Layer

Wisk Together - - I split this into two containers - it was too much as one for me.

1 individual container of Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt - 5.3 oz - You can use 1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt and add vanilla flavoring as well. (DO NOT USE DANNON LIGHT & FIT BLUEBERRY -IT WAS HORRIBLE)

2 Tbls of the dry Zero Sugar or Sugar Free - Jello Cheescake Pudding Mix

I added 2TBLSish of unsweet coconut milk (that's what I had) to thin it out to a better consistency. It gets really thick.

3rd Layer -

Topped off with a couple dollops of Cherry Pie Filling - I used the Ducan Hines Wilderness Country Cherry. Next Time I will use the Simply Cherry Pie Filling because it has a lower fat content and that is what I'm watching strictly. It's almost berry season and any fresh berry would be amazing as well.

I make a couple of these at a time and keep in fridge. Great Sweet Treat !!
