Low carb dessertsChef Allan’s Mom’s Low Carb Yummies Dream-Easy Cheesecake Ingredients: 4 oz cream cheese 3/8 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk preferred) 1/8 t salt 1 egg 4.5 t Splenda granules 2 T water 1.5 t Almond extract (you can also make different flavored cheesecakes by using vanilla, maple, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice) 1 T heavy cream (use the dispenser sold by Low Carb Yummies (nicest) to make Splenda sweetened French Vanilla Whipped cream, or use a blender) 4 little Pyrex 175 ml baking cups (available at supermarkets)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend them until smooth. Pour into Pyrex dishes and bake until firm but still moist (17 to 23 minutes depending on your oven). I like it really soft and moist- almost like a custard, so I pull them out at 17 minutes, while at 23, they are a lovely toasty-brown on the top, more firm and a bit drier. Remove from oven and let cool. Refrigerate immediately. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and any of the toppings listed below. Tips and variations on this simple, rich dessert. Sometimes I crumble 6 pecan halves and sprinkle them on the top of each little cheesecake before baking. It adds a negligible amount of carbs to these luscious deserts, and a little crunch. Your extract will bake out a lot, so experiment with that to get as much flavor as you like. You can use any of the wonderful Da Vinci flavored syrups to pour over the top. It gives you a myriad of choices for cheesecake flavors! One of my favorites is the caramel. Dreamy! Also, you can take 4 frozen cherries or strawberries and chop them into small pieces, and sprinkle them over the top of the whipped cream, or drop 6 blueberries on each. This will add approximately .4 g carbohydrates to your desserts along with a lot of color and flavor. |
