Default jello cheesecake help

I made this very simple recipe yesterday

Jiffy Jello Cream Cheese Treat
Ingrediants:
1-Large Box of Sugar Free Jello, any flavor
8 oz.-Cream Cheese br> Boil 2 cups of water and dissolve Jello into it. Soften cream cheese in microwave and stir until smooth and creamy. Slowly add jello to cream cheese mixture and continue stirring until well blended. Add 2 cups of cold water, mix well and chill until firm. Serve and enjoy. It's delicious and has almost no carbs! How can you beat that?

It was pretty good but it came out completely seperated. The cream cheese was in one layer, the jello in another. Did I just not take enough time mixing them up? I found that no matter what I did the cream cheese just didn't want to blend with the jello. Should I have put it in the blender?

I am also considering trying the snickerdoodle cheesecake but I don't understand what it means to bake in a water bath. Do I literally cover it with the water while it's in the roasting pan? That wouldn't mess it up?

thanks in advance for the help. I'm searching for a really good easy cheesecake to make when guests come and just haven't found the right thing yet.

I can't help with the jello one.

To bake in a water bath you set the cheesecake pan in a pan of water to whre it comes up the sides like 2/3 of the way. If you had water over it or in it, yes it would ruin it.

My favorite cheesecake so far is http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...ight=cheesecake

I havn't tried Karen's that calls for a pound of cream cheese. that should be nice and rich though.

Make the jello first and put it in the frig for an hour or so. Be sure that it's just slightly set. Then mix the cream cheese into it. It will hold together fine doing it this way.

good luck!
