I also made a new dessert using a recipe I found on Pinterest -- Nutella No-Bake Cheesecake. The crust was made with crushed Oreos mixed with a little butter, pressed into the bottom of the serving glasses I used. The filling was made by creaming together cream cheese and Nutella and folding in a container of light cool whip, then spooning it on top of the crust and chilling. I served it with a dollop of fat-free whipped cream and sprinkled a few mini chips and toasted hazelnuts on top. It was an easy dessert to put together and it looked and tasted more complicated than it actually was. The recipe is below.
Both the pizza and the dessert were yummy. The best part is I have plenty of pizza left for tomorrow's lunch (I also saved 1/2 of my dessert to enjoy tomorrow too). Not bad for a Tuesday night! I've posted a few pictures below. Enjoy!
