Layne & Isabel's Low-Carb Cheesecake Masterpiece


Ingredients:
2 lbs no fat cream cheese
4 whole large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cinnamon
4 oz (1/2 cup) low carb no fat milk
1 cup cooking splenda (sucralose)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Using No Fat cooking spray, spray 9" pie pan
Mix ingredients together using an electric blender in a large bowl
Pour mix into pre-greased pan

Heat at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes
Remove from oven and place in refrigerator

You must let this sit at least 4-5 hours in the fridge if you want a decent cheesecake.

Macronutrient Totals (per slice):
Protein: 20g
Carbohydrates: 6g
Fat: 2.25g
Chocolate or vanilla protein powder can be added to the mix for flavor and more protein if desired.

If one desires a softer cheesecake, then use 1 lb of light ricotta cheese and 1 lb of fat free cream cheese instead of 2 lbs fat free cream cheese. This changes the totals per slice.

Macronutrient Totals (per slice):
Protein: 17g
Carbohydrates: 5g
Fat: 4.5g

From Layne Norton http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/par42.htm

When I made it I actually ended up with 12 slices (and I added 150g blueberries) so macros were:
101 cals
Protein: 12g
Carb: 6g
Fat: 3g
(and I stuffed up and used 1 egg and 3 whites, need to double up on whites if you use them I believe)

I've never heard of low-carb milk before. Were you able to find that or did you just use regular skim milk?

QueenHanifa

This has been a standard cheesecake recipe for me.i. omit the milk and top with blueberries before baking.it has a new york cheesecake texture

I just used skim. I'm not a zero carber so doesn't make a difference to me.

Unsweetened Almond milk or Soy milk are the only low carb milks I know of.

any skim should be fine. The recipe was from zerocarb.com or something like that which is why they are so specific

When they say per slice, how many slices per cake are we talking about? 8?

taso42_DELETED

Mine's in the oven now!

I couldn't find fat-free cream cheese, so I'm using "1/3 less fat" Neufchatel cheese.
I'm also using stevia instead of sucralose.
I tossed in a scoop of ON Natural Chocolate Whey as well.

I tasted it raw and it seems like I may have made it too sweet / too cinnamonny. We'll see after it's cooked/chilled.

chrisdavey

The base recipe was cut into 8 slices. When I made mine I got 12.

The mixture was pretty sweet on mine too and I used SFA sweetener but when it cooked it lost a bit of sweetness I think. The worst part is that you have to wait for it in the fridge overnight haha
