Jell-O Temptations are slightly more upscale, layered, derivatives of their more standard fare of gelatin and pudding. I recently tried the
Strawberry Cheesecake flavor which comes three cups to a package on sale for
$2.50 (suggested retail is $2.89).
Rather than their standard clear plastic cup, Jell-O opted to go with an opaque black cup; probably because some marketing wonks thought black would be fancier. I prefer the clear cup because it's just more interesting to see what's inside.
Each cup is filled with what I would describe as a cheesecake mousse topped with semi-set strawberry-flavored gelatin. The gelatin on top was slightly disappointing; I was expecting more of a sauce or some strawberries although I think either might compact the underlying mousse. Flavor-wise, the gelatin on top had a richer (albeit artificial) strawberry flavor than your typical Jell-O.
I expect that it's very much like a Jell-O no-bake cheesecake but I've never tried one of those. It's enjoyable; a bit like a cheesecake cream pie if you're in the mood for such especially if you're counting calories but it's also kinda pricey for Jell-O (but I suppose reasonable for cheesecake). The Sister thought it was better than a defrosted frozen cheesecake but me, I'm not so sure.
I don't think I'd buy it again but considering that they're aren't that many (or sometimes any) options for a single serving of strawberry cheesecake at the supermarket, I've seen these run out at my local supermarket before and no, there was not a huge sale.
