LOW CARB CHEESECAKE A LA PICO

When I decided to through with this weight lost project, I realized that the change will have to be apermanent one  rather than a "quick fix" weight lost "diet". But I couldn't;t imagine going through life without dessert or something sweet. Well maybe once in a while like once every two - three months is acceptable hahaha  but even then I just couldn't eat SUGAR. I am an sugar/carb addict.. I was thinking more like every so often.so I scoured the world wide web for a recipe that would suit my high fiber/pro, low carb  lifestyle. The idea was to substitute sugar to Stevia and some low fat alterantive.

Getting points from different recipes and after several trials and errors, I finally came up with a simple yet delicious recipe I feel can fill that sweetness void in my food repertoire . So here goes:

LOW CARB CHEESECAKE A LA PICO

2 12oz. whipped cream cheese

1/2 tsp  Almond extract

1 tsp  Vanilla extract

1/2 cup STEVIA

3 eggs
Bitabuttah (Bit of Butter)

Mix  everything  in a blender adding the eggs one by one until creamy. Butter up an 8 1/2 x 3-4 baking pan.(no cookie crumble base here) Pour mixture into pan and bake on a "water bath"  for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

Serve cold. Enjoy!!

Total carb content of the whole cake is around 7--80 cut the whole cake into 10 or 12 pieces that will give you a carb content of a slice around 7-8 carb grams each.
