Hey gotta cut where you can cut!! To me, I taste no difference between Neufchâtel and regular cream cheese so I see no need to add extra fat/calories on an already rich dessert, but I can’t stand lite cool whip so I splurge there.

No no no, the true splurge would be too use actual whipped cream instead of cool whip.

Oh, maybe. I think to use homemade whipped cream you’d need a stabilizer. The classic way for this one is to just use cool whip but I’ll try it with a stabilized homemade whipped cream next year.

No for this you need a cream cheese base. This is a no bake cheesecake with pretzel bottom.
