Low Carb Cheesecake Recipe

Though Atkins is something that works for many people, it can be hard to give up sweets completely. You really don’t have to when you do this style of eating, but you do have to modify what you eat and what is considered to be sweet. I found a few great recipes for things that can be had on Atkins that are really sweet but have only one or two carbs per serving. The first thing I just had to try was low carb cheese cake. I am so glad I did. It’s not the same as the original, but it is surprisingly good and satisfying.

When making low carb cheese cake, the first thing someone has to get is Splenda. Anyone who is on Atkins already knows that this is the sweetener that is recommended for this diet. Also needed is cream cheese (two), heavy whipping cream, and vanilla. Some use lemon rind in theirs, but I do not. This is something that can be added if someone wishes to do so. Either way, the low carb cheese cake will still be good and probably will be gone rather quickly because other family members might like it was well.

One thing to remember about low carb cheese cake is that there is no crust, at least not in the version that I have made. Some in the later stages of the diet may be able to add a low carb crust to it, but when someone is in induction or the early states of ongoing weight loss, the crust is not an option. However, that is the only thing missing, as this is something that is sweet and tastes like real cheese cake for the most part. I found it immensely satisfying when I had the urge for something a little different.

There are a few good recipes online for the low carb cheese cake, and because I didn’t create the recipes I won’t put one here, but they are pretty easy to find and they are all going to be really good. Look for one that will be something that you can make easily. Some are more complicated than others and what time and work someone wants to put into a low carb cheese cake will be up to them. Though this will have to chill for a little while, it is something that can be made and then enjoyed rather quickly, and that is just what someone might need when a sweet craving hits. These are rare with Atkins, but they do happen.
