Low Carb New York Cheesecake Food

LOW CARB NEW YORK RICOTTA CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Spray the springform pan with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside. In a shallow roasting pan big enough to fit the cake pan, pour about 1-inch of water and place it on the center rack of the oven to preheat.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat softened cream cheese, ricotta, sour cream and sugar substitute on low speed for about 1 minute until well blended.
• In a separate bowl, using a wire whisk, mix heavy cream, vanilla, lemon juice, eggs, and egg yolks until blended.
• Turn the mixer on medium speed, and slowly pour the egg mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Beat just until blended and then turn off; be careful not to over-whip.
• Pour batter into the greased springform pan. Place pan into the heated water bath. Bake for 15 minutes, and then lower the oven temperature to 275 degrees F. Continue baking for 1 1/2 hours, or until top is light golden brown and cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan. Turn the oven off when finished cooking and leave the cake in the oven to cool for 3 more hours. (This will keep the cake nice and tall.) Then remove cake and refrigerate before serving. Serve chilled.

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.

LOW CARB CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Heat a kettle or pot of water to make a water bath later.
• Grease a 9 inch springform or cake pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper especially if using a cake pan.
• IMPORTANT: If using a springform pan, securely wrap the outside of the pan in two layers of aluminum foil to prevent water seeping into the pan while baking in the water bath.
• In a large bowl, with electric mixer if possible, mix cream cheese with sweeteners, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
• Mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Do not over mix or the cake may crack due to air bubbles incorporated into the batter.
• Pour filling into prepared dish.
• Place a large, deep pan on the oven's middle track. Pour hot water into the pan about 2 inches deep (or until it will come about halfway up the sides of your cheesecake pan. Place cake pan inside larger pan. Be careful sliding the oven rack into the oven so that no water gets into the cheesecake.
• Bake in preheated oven for 75 minutes. The center of the cake will still be wobbly.
• Carefully remove cake from water bath and place on cooling rack. Run a thin knife blade around the edges of the cake. Place an inverted plate over cake to slow cooling time to help prevent cracking and leave it alone. Once completely cool, store covered in refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving.
• Remove from pan when ready to serve by first running a knife around the edges again then remove the springform ring or invert onto a plate or pan if you used a cake pan. Invert again by putting a second plate on the bottom of the cake and turn right side up.
• TIP: Use dental floss to cut cake easily.
• Flavor Additions: After you've poured the batter into the pan add some sugar free Hershey's chocolate chips and push some down into the batter. Or drizzle on some sugar free flavored syrup (such as Torani or Davinci's) and swirl into cake with a knife.
