If you're looking for an excellent way to say "I love you" to someone you love, then treat him or her to a delicious, easy-to-make, healthy meal followed by a sensible dessert. There's probably no better way to express your feelings than by showing that special person that you really care about their overall health:
Low-carb sugar free cheese cake
Ingredients:
3 packages (1 and 1/2 lbs) cream cheese (preferably room temperature)
4 Eggs (preferably room temperature)
1 and 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 Tablespoon) vanilla
1 and 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 Tablespoon) lemon juice
1 and 1/3 cups Worth of artificial sweetener (I like liquid concentrages for this recipe)
1/4 cup Sour cream
Crust
1 cup Almond meal
2 t Melted butter
2t Worth artificial sweetener
Preparation:
1. Combine ingredients for crust, and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to brown.
Raise oven heat to 400 F., or lower to 350 F if you're using a water bath (see below).
2. Put cream cheese in mixing bowl, and beat until fluffy. Add other ingredients, scraping the bowl and beaters each time (this is very important), fully incorporating each ingredient. When all ingredients are combine, scrap one more time, beat one more minute, and pour mixture into pan over crust.
Instructions for water bath:
Wrap the bottom and sides of the springform pan in foil, put it in a baking pan and pour boiling water around the sides. Bake at 350 for 60-90 minutes, checking often. When the cake is firm to touch but slightly soft in the center, or the center reaches 155 degress F., remove from oven.
Instructions for non-water bath: For this method, you start the cake at a high temperature, and it slowly drops. If you have stoneware, bricks, etc, this allows it to happen at a slower rate, and I get better results in less time. Put the cheesecake on a sheet pan in case of drippage. After putting the cheesecake in the oven at 400 degrees, turn the oven down to 200. Bake for 60-90 minutes, checking often after an hour. When the cake is firm to touch but slightly soft in the center, or the center reaches 155 degrees F., remove from oven.
Chill completely. Top with fruit, if desired, such as Sugar-Free Strawberry Topping
