Just made low carb cheesecake..

Gimme gimme gimme



I'm very excited for easter.. I promised myself a Mr Bill's Low Carb Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake!

Sure... here it is. I made it with the almond crust and made individual ones using a muffin pan. I baked it for about 25 minutes. The only thing I realized is that the rake was too close to the bottom.

Myra's New York-Style Cheesecake

Crust:
1 1/4 cups finely ground almonds

OR

1 1/4 cups finely ground cashews

Sweeter equal to 1 tablespoon sugar (I use splenda)
6 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping:
2 cups sour cream (16 oz. container)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Sweetener equal to 1 tablespoon sugar

Filling:
3 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
Sweetener equal to 1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a bowl, combine the almonds (or cashews), 1 tablespoon sweetener and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes. In a bowl, mix the sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon sweetener until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sweetener until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Blend in the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Pour the cream cheese mixture into the springform pan, and bake for at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the knife inserted halfway between the edge and the cneter comes clean. With a spatula, spread the sour cream mixture over the top making sure you reach the edges of the pan. Return the cake to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove cake and allow to cool to room temperture. Slide a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it, then remove the springform ring. Chill in the refrigerator.

Makes 16 servings, about 5 grams of carbs per serving made with almonds, and 7.2 grams per serving made with cashews.
