I am in need of a good cheesecake recipe
Today is my daughter’s 13th birthday and she wants a cheesecake for her
birthday. I was just recently diagnosed with diabetes and in a quandry as to
how to go about it. I am sure I need to use Splenda instead of sugar, how about
a flour or crushed nuts as the crust. I would be very thankful to anyone that
can give me some ideas.
Thanks,
Cyndee

Hi Cyndee;
I bake and sell cheesecakes from my home and have mead one that is almost fat
free. I use the store brand of vanilla wafers mixed with enough butter to hold
the crumbs together. I use a food processor to crumble the cookies..(before I
got one, I used a gallon size zip bag and a hammer!) Vanilla wafers have very
little carbs in them and low in sugar. Or you can get any brand of sugar free
vanilla cookie. You can throw in a hand full of nuts if you like.
I have a recipe for what I named "Chocolate Covered Banana" Cheesecake. This
is one of the few I make that I can have a small slice of and not raise my blood
sugar to much. If you would like it, let me know and I’ll send it. Hope this
helped.

there is a really YUMMY cheesecake recipe that is usually on the back of the big
bags of splenda we buy. I am sure it would be on their site. It is so good and
no one knows it’s made with splenda unless you tell them,

Low Carb Cheesecake Recipe
This low carb cheesecake recipe substitutes sugar
for Splenda. There are many other types of low
carb sweetener you could use, so if Splenda isn’t
available, just substitute for what you have
available. Remember that 1 tsp of one type of
sweetener isn’t always equal to 1 tsp of another
brand. So please check to make sure you get
the right sweetness for your low carb cheesecake.
Low Carb Cheesecake: Base
2/3 cup finely ground nuts
1 1/4 cups Splenda
1/4 cup margarine
3/4 cup almond flour
Using your hands, mix together well and then pack
firmly pack into the base of a 10" cheesecake pan
covering the bottom evenly.
Low Carb Cheesecake: Filling
24oz (3 8oz packets) of softened cream cheese.
1 1/4 cups Splenda
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla (sugarfree extract)
1 cup of thick whipping cream
1/2 tsp almond extract
Beat together Splenda and cream cheese in a large
bowl until creamy. Add in 1 egg at a time whilst
continuing to beat mixture to desired consistency.
Mix in remaining ingredients.
Pour or spoon the low carb cheesecake filling into
the 10" pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350 deg F. Turn off
heat and leave in the oven with door closed
1 more hour.
Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake
and leave to cool. Then refrigerate for a further
hour until completely set.
Low Carb Cheesecake: Topping
Simply select some low carb berries and sprinkle
with a selection of roughly chopped nuts.
Enjoy your low carb cheesecake!
