Typical swing into second week slow down. Today I'm making my family cheese cake because I have some cream cheese close to expiring. Ugh. It will be hard not to sample it! I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I want to make it another 10lbs before returning to M. I also don't want to stay on longer than the minimum here. NO CHEATING! That means 12 more days of drops after today and of course the 3 days elimination. A little over 2 weeks....I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. The problem with being this much closer to goal....totally hard to not just say...I'm good here, lol.
As for today's adventure:
Cheese Cake
Filling: 3 packages (1 and 1/2 lbs) cream cheese (room temperature)
4 eggs (preferably room temperature)
1 and 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 Tablespoon) vanilla
1 and 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 Tablespoon) lemon juice
1 and 1/3 cups sugar equivalent of Stevia
1/4 cup sour cream
Crust: 1 cup almond meal
2 Tablespoon melted butter
2 Tablespoon sugar equivalent in Stevia
Preparation:
Heat oven to 375 F.
Tip: If you have bricks or a pizza stone or unglazed ceramic tile*, put them on the
lower rack of the oven. This will hold the heat in the oven. This is good for
cheesecakes not baked in a water bath. (Well, actually, it's helpful for any
kind of baking, as it keeps the heat in the oven more constant. I keep a pizza
stone in the oven most of the time.)
Combine ingredients for crust, and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8
to 10 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to brown.
Raise oven heat to 400 F, or lower to 350 F if you're using a water bath. Pour in filling to completely cooled crust and bake until top browns (~30mins)
Hope this works! If not, I'll be trying some of these recipes when I hit M: Sugar Free Stevia Recipes
Wish me luck!
