    Can`t remember who posted this a few weeks ago, but I copied the recipe. Haven`t tried it, but it sounded good.

    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

    Bake an apple with cinnamon and add muesli at the end. Delicious and low calories.

    Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate (sugar free or low sugar option if you can). You and your partner can feed them to each other.. the anticipation will burn off the calories :) haha.

    If you want ice-cream, how about making your own yummy frozen yoghurt? if you freeze it a bit, then whip it up, then freeze again it goes all fluffy like ice-cream.

    Happy V-day! :)

    Sugar Free Raspberry Ripple
    * 1/3- 1/2 cup coconut oil

    * 1/3 cup organic salted butter (be sure to use salted…the saltiness gives it a lovely kick)

    * 2 tbls raw cacao, or cocoa

    * 1 tbls rice malt syrup

    * 1/3 cup coconut, shredded or flakes (for a chunkier version)

    * 1/3 cup of frozen raspberries

    Melt the butter and oil (in a pan or microwave…the oil takes longer to melt so add the butter a little after); stir in the cacao and syrup. Arrange the berries and coconut on a sheet of baking paper on a baking tray or plate (a dinner plate is ideal – the slight indent creates a good shape). Pour the coconut oil mixture over the top and pop in the freezer. When firm either break into shards or cut into wedges.
