I used salted macadamias, but I also omitted the salt from the mix

I substituted lime for lemon as well.

It came out great, but I think my oven is too hot because I did get the cracking.

frankly that didn't bother me though, after all I'm just gonna cut it up and eat it.

I didn't have sugar twin - so just doubled the splenda but It still wasn't sweet enough for my taste.


It sure makes a HUGE cake I think I'm gonna have to freeze most of it.

FABULOUS!
Question:
The first time I made it I opened up the packages of splenda & measured 5 tbsps., and it was a little to sweet. The second time I made it I used the granular from the box & it wasn't sweet enough. Since then I have read your information on the difference between the boxed granular & the packets. Any advice on how to achieve a happy medium between the two?
Thank you in advance...

You can use 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups of granular Splenda or the equivalent in packages.

Each packet has the sweetness of 2 teaspoons of sugar... so use that info to figure out how many packets you need (48 teaspoons in a cup).

How many carbs are in the 5 Tbsp's of Sugar Twin? I left them out. I used 7 Tbsp of granular Splenda. I don't like things too sweet.

I am making this cheesecake right now!

Thank you! I am enjoying this forum a lot.

There are .75 grams in 1 Tbsp. of Canadian Sugar Twin and 1.5 grams in 1 Tbsp. of Splenda.

Glad you're enjoying the forum!

Default New York Style Cheesecake with Brazil Nut Crust

Hi. I'm new at this low carb dieting and I'm trying to find new recipes. I saw this recipe, but I'm so new that I don't know if the carbs at the end of the recipe is for the whole cheese cake, or is it 68 carbs for 1 slice?

Thanks for helping a beginner.

Hi Karen,

I am planning on making this for my 4th of July bash, and I was wanting to put strawberries on top. What I was wondering is if I mix strawberries with Splenda like you normally would do with sugar for a shortcake, will it have the same affect of drawing out the juices? I definitely want the strawberry juices so that I can drizzle it on top, plain strawberries just don't have the kick I am looking for!

Thanks!
Robin

It won't, so mash some of the strawberries up and mix them with Splenda. Then fold in the remaining strawberries.

Nice cheesecake, Karen!

This may sound crazy but I made this to have for breakfasts. I just can't face another egg for a while. The cheesecake is ready to eat, saving time; I don't have to turn on the stove or oven in the summer heat (now that it's already cooked); and it's not eggs!

Will the recipes in this forum be in your upcoming book? Or are they all new ones?

Some of them, but most of them are new. The cheesecake is in there for sure. There are also recipes contributed by the moderators.

I took this to a cottage last week and served it to non-LCers. They didn't realize at all and asked for seconds! Karen, I followed your baking directions and it came out perfectly. Will definitely make it again soon.

Oh, I did change the crust - made it with crushed pecans. I didn't mind about the carb count because I LOVE pecans.

Is this a fluffy cheesecake or the thick dense kind? I personally don't care for the fluffy kind... does anyone have a recipe for the thick heavy kind? I would like to make it for my birthday on THursday.

Thanks
Beverly
