How far would you go to avoid eating sweet treats?
In an attempt not to give into temptation, one person decided to create a healthier, makeshift option of a well-known dessert.
The unique cheesecake recipe – if we can even call it that – was shared in a private Facebook group called ‘Slimming World Tasty Meal and treats’, which has over 23,000 members – one of whom shared the dish on Twitter, where it is now gathering attention for all the wrong reasons.
So, how does one make a healthy cheesecake? All you need is a bowl of Crunchy Nut cornflakes, topped with quark, spreadable cheese and white chocolate.
And it’s apparently not a hoax: ‘I thought this was a joke,’ the Twitter user who spotted the recipe captioned their tweet.
‘It is not a joke.’
And here we thought we’d left food monstrosities in 2019.
Unsurprisingly, people are ripping the unique dish to shreds, with some highlighting that it’s better to eat a small amount of what you like, than ‘shit’.
‘Another cracking example of how shit some “diet recipes” are,’ commented one person.
‘Just eat a small, ACTUAL cheesecake and have some fruit FFS. (I know you know this, I’m just really annoyed by stuff like this.)’
Someone else commented: ‘That’s horrific and no more a cheesecake than putting a babybel on top of a Jaffa cake.’
‘I have an urge to go to that group meeting and throw chairs,’ another person tweeted.
‘How dare they call that cheesecake!,’ wrote a user, who paired the tweet with an angry gif.

Someone else said it ‘ruined’ their morning, and many people commented with a simple ‘no’ ‘please no’ and ‘not tasty’.
Others expressed anger over Slimming World, but it’s worth noting that this is not an official Facebook group made by the company (nor was the recipe posted by them).
One person was inspired to join the group, sharing a photo of a pending member request – though they didn’t clarify if it’s to find out more about the monstrosity or get other nifty recipe suggestions.
Not everyone hated it, with one person appreciating the unusual take on a classic.
‘I would actually eat that,’ they tweeted.
‘I love Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.’
Be that as it may, we’re probably going to stick to the real deal. What do you think?
