Good recipe the chocolate is a bit tart. If you want a crust and still keep it low carb try chopped pecans or crushed pretzels. We use the pecans.

Good recipe, but I caution you.... the nutritional info is INCORRECT!!! If you are doing Atkins, each packet of Splenda needs to be counted as 1 carb. 3/4c of Splenda is about 50 packets, which adds 50 grams of carbs to the entire recipe, or 3.125 grams to each serving.

Yep. This was pretty great for being so low carb. I thought it was light and airy cheesecake, almost like a mousse. It was a little bit bitter when you first taste it, but I like my chocolate a little bittersweet so it was good.
