Ok finally have time to type this up - hope you enjoy it
Tom's New York Cheesecake
In 24cm diameter flan dish, this makes 16 servings. Small slices but very satisfying
This is made un-sweetened and tastes great but does then need some sort of topping!
Base
1 cup ground almond
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
2 tbs butter
Method:
mix together and spread in bottom of dish
Bake at 170C for 10 mins
Top
500g Tesco soft & creamy cheese (we originally used Philadelphia but has more carbs/sugar than tescos)
250g Ricotta
1/2 cup double cream
1 tbs vanilla essence
4 eggs
(splenda if you need - remember to add additional carbs)
Method:
Heat oven to 200C while you ......
Mix cheeses in a mixer. Stir in rest of ingredients
Put pie in oven and turn down to 130C for 1 hour
Chill
Total net carbs for whole recipe 35.4g ie 2.2g per serving
Toppings (depending on your spare carb avaibility):
sugar free jelly (hartleys little pot) stuck in mixer makes a perfect carb free sauce in whatever flavour
2 really thin slices of strawberries/fruit taste great and add 1-2 carbs
smother in stewed fruit, fresh fruit, any other delicious topping - BUT ONLY IF you are on maintenance or non atkins
