I made this on Saturday for my birthday in place of a cake since I am trying to lose the last 10 lbs after having a baby....I am sorry but it was not that good. It tasted like pure cream cheese. I think I will try making it again but add in lots of cinnamon and maybe some all spice to cover up the cheese flavor.

Just finished eating my 1/8 piece of this wonderful cheesecake. Put half almond extract and half vanilla. Blended it in the stand mixer creamed up well. Only used 1/2 c splenda and was plenty sweet enough. The BF loved it too, although he is not doing low-carb so I made a quick raspberry sauce with frozen raspberries and sugar and nutmeg. He loved it too! Just stopped short of licking the plate. Can't believe it is not cheating on my South Beach! Thank you Lv2Sun!

My husband is watching his carbs so I tried this recipe, he really didn't like it. Although my sister-in-law said it was good

I was looking for a sweet treat I could have while doing the super low carb thing and I've found it! I used a bit less of the splenda than called for and the taste was still strong and it was plenty sweet - next time, I'll probably only use half the sweetener. Thanks for posting!

I have been Low Carbing for many years and have made many cheesecakes. This stands out as one of the best. I made it in ramekins and took it to work for breakfast. Cheesecake for breakfast?? One of the perks of doing Low Carb. I used a mixer instead of a blender and added some lemon extract. I was in a hurry so I didn't even wait for the cheesecake to cool in the oven and it still turned out perfect. Very tasty!
