Low Carb Lime Cheesecake Vegan Food

VEGAN LOW CARB CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Place 1 cup of vegan yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth and set aside for 2 hours so some of the whey drains out. Remove the cream cheese from the fridge so it reaches room temperature by the time you are ready to make the filling.

BEST EVER LOW CARB CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Cream softened cream cheese with splenda until very smooth.
• Blend in sour cream, vanilla, and lemon juice.
• Add eggs one at a time and beat until smooth but don't overbeat.
• Pour mixture into an 8 or 9 inch springform pan and wrap bottom and sides of pan with tin foil to form a watertight barrier.
• Set pan in larger pan (I use a big roaster) and add water to about half way up the springform.
• Place into oven and cook 1 hour. Reduce heat to 200 and cook another hour.
• Cool slowly at either room temp or it is actually best to turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in it overnight to cool. (Cheesecakes most often crack due to overbeating and cooling too rapidly).
• Place in fridge for several hours before serving.
• Top with your favourite fresh fruit if desired and whipped cream.

NO BAKE LOW CARB KEY LIME CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ricotta cheese, lime juice, 2 cups sugar substitute, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup hot water, and zest of 1 lime on medium speed until well combined.
• Using a fork to mix, thoroughly dissolve the 3 envelopes of gelatin in 3/4 cup boiling water. Do not let cool and move onto the next step immediately. (It is important that the water be boiling hot and that you mix the gelatin powder in quickly so it is completely dissolved. If not, you will have gummy bear-type lumps.) With the mixer on high and working very quickly so the gelatin does not set, blend the hot dissolved gelatin thoroughly into cheesecake mixture. Immediately pour mixture into 10 inch, or deep dish pie pan and sprinkle with the zest of the other lime. Chill in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 hours or until firm. Serve.
• Hint: If you have any extra cheesecake mixture left over after filling the pie pan (I always do), put it in a pastry bag or heavy-duty plastic bag and put it in your freezer for about 7 to 10 minutes, just to firm it up a bit to the thickness of whipped cream. Then take it out and decorate the top of the Key Lime Cheesecake. (If it is in a plastic bag, snip the corner off.).
