Travel Time Relaxing Tea

Follow me

Getting ready to go to Young Living Convention and then onward for our summer vacation. Traveling and sleeping in hotels is usually a challenge for me. I sleep better in my own bed. I guess it is partly the excitement of travel, new things learned at the Young Living Convention and a bed I am not used to. I have a hard time getting settled down for a good night’s sleep.

For the filling:
2 cream cheese (8 oz. each and room temp.)
2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup water
1 packet plain gelatin
1/2 cup Swerve (powdered) (or sweetener of choice)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray grease a 9″ springform pan. Mix the crust ingredients and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for approx. 12 minutes, or until it starts to get lightly browned. Allow to cool.


In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. In separate bowl, beat the whipping cream to soft peaks.

Pour the gelatin mixture slowly into the cream cheese. Turn the mixer on medium and keep blending until the mixture has a smooth texture. Then fold in the whipped cream.
