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?

    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?

    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. :smile:

    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
