I needed a dessert bad, spent hours on the net looking and hours looking through this forum, found this cheescake here. OMG! this is the best cheesecake ever. I have never tasted any cheescake to compare. Try it you won't be sorry. Does take a long time to make but it's totally worth it. Totally Phase 3 friendly. http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/recipereview/showproduct.php/item/3571_cheri%20A%20Cheesecake%20Factory%20Cheesecake %20(converted%20to%20lowcarb)

just saw this- as i'm waiting for mine to cool! i took it to my friend's house for thanksgiving and everyone liked it so much that they "volunteered" me to bring it for christmas... i have a second one ready to go in the oven tomorrow, for my own family christmas on saturday. since i'm on P4 now, i did add just a bit of graham crackers crumbs (about 1/4 cup) to the crust, hoping it would hold together better. and made a blueberry sauce for the top. i'll let you know the verdict!

If it's the recipe I am thinking of it was wonderful. I mixed a slightly different nut crust but with the butter and everyone ranted and raved over it. I put strawberries on top if I knew how to post a photo I would. It was beautiful and delicious, I have made it about 4 times. Victoria

I made cheesecake yesterday too! oh my word!!!!!! I used an almond flour crust and this filling that I found on the forum with xylitol.
The crust I made is 1 1/2 cupsalmond flour, 1tsp vanilla, 1/4 cup grape seed oil, 2T xylitol and 1/2 tsp salt.- bake at 350 for about 15 min

I guess yesterday was a cheesecake sort of day : )


Crust:
1. Grind 1 1/2 cups almonds in the food processor until the consistency of graham cracker crumbs.
2. Add 1/4 cup vanilla flavored whey protein powder and 4tbl of melted butter.
3. Press into bottom of springform pan.
4. Bake in 350* oven for 12-15 min, unitl golden brown.
5. Cool while making cheesecake filling

Filling:
3pk of cream cheese at room temp
4 eggs at room temp
1 1/2 cups granulated splenda
1 tsp vanilla extract

Beat cream cheese until light. Add eggs one at a time. blend in splenda and vanilla until smooth - no lumps. Pour into pre-baked crust.

Bake at 350* for 15 min. Turn oven down to 225*, bake for 1 hr 15min. Turn oven off and open door wide. Allow chessecake to cool in oven for 30 min.
This cooking method prevents a lot of cheesecake "cracking", but for some reason cheesecakes made with splenda crack a little bit no matter what I try.

ohhh my gosh that sounds sooo incridable delious... I CANT WAIT FOR P3.... i was thinking of what ifyou added choclate, or even english toffe stevia... or that coco powder everyone is always talking about( like for the mug cake???) mmmm cheesecake

I made a second one because there was too much filling left over. I added a chocolate almond butter mix, these were the first two cheese cakes I have ever made and my husband and parents went nuts over them! I am really enjoying this new way of eating!

Chocolate almond butter mix:

1/2 bar 100% cocoa melted in a double boiler(or you can microwave in thirty second increments)
stir in around 2T xylitol (or sweetener of choice)
remove from heat and lightly mix in 2 T almond butter.
let cool just a little so its still pretty runny but not hot.
pour white cheese mix into crust then take a knife and start in the center and "drizzle" a spiral out with chocolate mix. Finally, swirl in chocolate mix.

This cheesecake sounds fantastic. Only problem I have is the Splenda. I'm one of those people who's gotten very bad side effects using Splenda. Is there an alternative I can use or can I up one ingredient or down another to enable to use of an alternative?

You aren't kidding! I made this yesterday. It is fantabulous!

[delnisfernan]

this cheesecake is AWESOME...I added cocoa powder to about 3/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture then put it on in 5 even dollops and swirled it in with a knife...it was just SUPER SUPER good, have cream cheese defrosting to make it again. I used xylitol and it worked really well. I'm in p4 but still make p3 foods for those times I need to be more careful. Gained a few lbs. over thanksgiving and Christmas so I'm trying to get them off with high protein for a few days...hope it works.

I see this thread is almost 2 years old, but so glad I found it!!! I am SO making this for a small family get together in a couple of weeks. I've been DYING for a good REAL cheesecake that won't sabotage my hard work!!! THANK YOU for posting this, I can't WAIT to try it!!!

[Fouttysotlalf]

msmelise79, thanks for bumping this up! I have a barbeque I'm going to a few days after I start P3 (not until mid-August) and I wasn't sure what I was going to bring. This is it. My husband is a huge cheesecake fanatic and if I could make something he'd like (he's extremely picky with cheesecake) I'll get extra bonus points. I'm so excited to try this! Please come soon, August!

[singleGirl]

just be cautious- cream cheese seems to make a lot of people gain.

[Greactbet]

I have this luscious cheesecake sitting in my fridge right now!! I'm bringing it to a get together on Sunday and I hope it's a hit. I tried the batter before cooking it and THAT was good so hopefully the finish product tastes just as good or better!! Tomorrow I'm going to make a SF raspberry sauce to top it off with. I can't WAIT to have some!! Not only is this the first cheesecake I've ever made, it's also the first time mine and my Fiance's parents are meeting after us being together for 5 years lol. The wedding is in November!! Nothing like waiting until last minute hahahaha.

Anyway, here's some pics.

1) the almond/pecan/walnut crust pressed into the springform 2) after the batter was poured in 3) the finished product. Still in the process of setting. A little darker than I'd like and I had it on the middle rack(top rack was recommended in the baking instructions)

@ treeradar, I used xylitol or erythritol and it works fine.

This cheesecake is DA BOMB!!! Everyone loved it, especially the nutty crust
