Once in a while a girl just needs something sweet, even if the sweetness is faux.
While I have baked sugar free cheesecakes in the past, sometimes I need faux sugar right this instant
So I buy a tiny sugar free cheesecake at Publix
and a box of blackberries. Then I enjoy my 4 net carb slice of sweetness. Naturally you will add carbs for the berries. I never do. As far as I'm concerned, fruit has fiber, and fiber means fewer carbs.
What You Need:
store bought sugar free/low carb cheesecake
blackberries
Options:
Crust -- Make your own low-carb crust by chopping (very fine) walnuts, pecans, macadamias and mixing them with Splenda, then pressing the nut mix around the chilled, firm cake.
- Heavy whipping cream--whipped with Splenda--is a low carb indulgence.
- Berries
- Sugar Free Chocolate syrup

Happy New Year!
I am sharing a healthy recipe this week- Shrimp Salsa. It is great with tortilla chips but if you are trying to go lower carb, it is great on a thin slice of jicama or on a spear of endive. It's all good!
Thanks for hosting!
Love cheese cake!!!
Happy New Year!
Oh, yummy!! I totally agree with you about cheesecake and faux sugar..and heck, I'll even take real sugar!! :D
I've never tried low carb cheesecake but have forgone cheesecake for a long while because of the calories. I'll have to look for this!
Happy New Year, Michael!
I love the fruits on top of this cheesecake. They look very fresh and alive.
This looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing. :)
Happy New Year!

Oh My! I have not had cheesecake in so long - sounds so good. I almost bought a slice recently, but figured I had already done enough diet damage during the holidays. House full this weekend, so will save the cheesecake til Spring. :-D
Hope you have a very healthy, prosperous and Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! After this week, the calories start to count once again... haha. So I'm anxious to try recipes like this that allow dessert in a lower calorie way. Thanks for sharing!
I had some wonderful blackberries this past week. I tell you, they don't get the credit they deserve!
Have a good one, Michael.

Michael Lee, Your cheesecake looks delicious and would definitely hit the spot! It looks pretty too. When I need a sweet, I break off a couple of squares of a Hershey's Special Dark bar and enjoy my dark chocolate. Wishing you and your family a joyous New Year.
Blessings, Beth

Thank you for hosting!
I just wanted you to know that I accidentally submitted the wrong recipe (#84) so the second one is correct for SteakNPotatoesKindaGurl, with my panko crusted chicken with mustard maple sauce.
Happy New Year!
After making that cake I need all the help I can in the calorie department. Don't think I've ever tried low-fat cheesecake... lovely idea with the berries!! Happy New Year!
I never turn down cheesecake....!
My link is for gingerbread houses, I had a party and it was a blast!
Happy New Year!
