Here's a recipe that I concocted for a cheesecake like custard that is really yummy. I started out making the "mock danish" that was posted and changed the texture to my liking. Here goes:
2 eggs 1 package cream cheese 1/4 cup ricotta cheese (mine was 2g per 1/4) 1/4 cup half n half (or heavy cream) 1 tsp to 1 T. cocoa - to taste 1 tsp vanilla extract optional: 1 T. low carb jelly, warmed in microwave til liquid consistancy ---------- Soften cream cheese in medium bowl. Add all other ingredients except jelly and whisk together until very smooth. Pour evenly into 4 small custard cups. drizzle jelly over each and swirl with a toothpick then place into microwave for 3:30. Cover each cup with plastic and refrigerate til cold and set. Good warm too!
Makes 4 servings of approx. 1/2 cup each 5.5 grams carbs per serving with ingredients used above, including jam. If you leave the jam out it's only 4.25 g!
Here's a recipe I used this weekend...didn't really figure out the carbs, but it's for a family sized cheesecake that's baked..and comes out AWESOME!
4 bricks cream cheese 4 eggs plus 2 yolks 12 heaping tsps. splenda (I use granular)more or less to your desired sweetness 3/4 c. heavy cream or 1/2 n 1/2 2 T of lemon or lime juice ( I used lime) cinnamon to taste
soften cream cheese whirl all remaining ingredients in blender or food processor til smooth and creamy and no lumps. Pour into parchment lined round cake tin. Place another baking pan that is the same height or taller on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven and place filled cake pan inside. Boil enough water to bring the level to 2/3 the height of the cake. Bake for 40 mins to 1 hour til middle is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven. Open the oven for 1 minute and then close again and keep the cake in there for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 6 hours til firm and fully chilled. To unmold, dip the bottom of the pan into warm sink water for about 15 seconds then run a knife around the inside edge of the cake between the parchment and the cake. Invert onto a plate then turn over to another plate. I know it sounds like a lot of work but it really makes the cake so much creamier! Anyway, good luck and have a great dessert!
