A great recipe. Back to low carbing after a yearlong furlow during which I found 50 pounds. A twist to this recipe is to make a "crust". Just melt butter or margarine and some splenda in a saucepan then add ground pecans or almonds to make a thick mix, Press into a pie pan and add your cheesecake blend. Presto!! A high protien low carb crust!!

I've made this twice now. Once a year or so ago when I found the recipe on another site. I was doing the low carb thing and Thanksgiving was here so I made it and brought it with me. Everyone liked it. I don't have splenda packets, so I use 3/4 cup of splenda and use the 1 tablespoon of vanilla but in place of the almond I use vanilla. I cook it on 350 for 30 minutes in a glass pie dish and it came out as pictured. On the rack below it in the oven I had another glass pan filled with an inch or so of water to prevent cracks as much as I could. Once it comes out of the oven it looks a little poofed up. Leave it alone and it will fall back down.Give it a couple hours to chill.

This was fantastic! I swapped the Splenda for the exact same amount of Stevia. When I mixed the ingredients, I started out with my flat beater until the batter was like a slightly lumpy cottage cheese. I then switched to my whisk-style beater attachment, and blended on high until it was like a light fluffy cream (maybe 1 min or slightly less). It tastes and smells just like white wedding cake, due to the almond extract. This recipe is a keeper. I'm sure it would be good with a paleo or low carb crust as well, but it was also delicious as-is. Thanks for a great alternative for my husband's cheesecake cravings!
