on the recipe pages (or another site) is the "best" in your opinion both for the low carb-ness of it, ease of finding ingredients to make it, and of course FLAVOR!!! Or if you have a LC cheesecake recipe that you use, and isint there, and want to share it... I'd love to see it!!!! :agree:

I am having a little "back to school" party for my department on Wednesday, and was thinking I would make a low carb cheesecake, with some berries on top for our "dessert". Just looking for opinions. THANKS MUCH!!!!

Karens new york style one is my favorite. Bawdy's one is decent also.

I made Bawdy's yesterday. The ingediants are relatively simple. However, I subbed the Sour Cream for light sour cream and the recipe already calls for lower fat cream cheese. Its the naefchutel or however it's spelled. Use Splenda, don't use a liquid sweetner like DaVinci because it is a rich but not too sweet cheese cake, using the DaVinci makes it even more sourish so I'm told. It is a very filling cake, I can certainly say. I think it tastes better the second day than it did on the first day. It was very good all around.

Hi Cheese Cake people!! :wave:

Just want to remind you that cheese cake is dairy and needs to be counted as part of your 2 cups total of dairy each day.

I hope that you can have a small piece and then not have anymore cuz if it was in my house, I know that I would not be able to stay away from it until it was all gone!! ;) Thats one of the reasons why I don't make it.

Enjoy!! :yum:

what I do is make it eat a piece and freeze the rest, or take it to work and eat a piece, food dissapears fast there.

this is exactly why I am wanting to make it when I'm having a "party"... so that I can have a piece, and the rest will either be gone, or put in the freezer!!!!

Karen's New York Style Cheesecake (http://www.lowcarb.ca/karen/recipe062.html) freezes beautifully :)

... and I'm sure that it would be just as good if you made it with a low-fat, rather than full-fat, cream cheese.

If it's portion control you want, make Individual Cheesecakes.

Here is an example:

Kevin, that recipe for ind. cheesecakes looks heavenly. But, since I don't have Sweetzfree, how much Splenda would I need to use? And how many eggs to = the 4 T powdered eggs?
Thanks for your help.

8 drops = 1/4 cup in filling
4 drops = 2 T in topping

4T of the powdered egg = 4 eggs
