Liquid Sweetener
 

Karen, what do you use for a liquid sweetener??

On hand I have Premium Stevia a Herbal Supplement which just says 3-6 drops per serving... I also have Stevia a liquid extract. Would either of these work in the Cheesecake recipe.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of choices sometimes shopping, so I get stuck with something that's almost right, and I have to make it work.

I'm going to the City tomorrow and could have the opportunity to dig deeper for the correct item.

Thanks for your help....don't know what we'd do without you.

Stevia would be fine. Just add it to taste after the granulated sweetener. I originally made the recipe with liquid Sugar Twin. I use two sweeteners to keep the carbs down and to improve the taste.

Cake's in the Freezer
 

Made my cake tonight for tomorrow's dinner.....everyone wanted to lick the bowl!! Sure tasted great... I'm sure it will be a big hit tomorrow night!! Tastes like one of those "can't believe it's low carb treats".

Cake was a HIT
 

Karen, thanks again for sharing your recipe!! My cake turned out great.... Tasted far too good to be low-carb. Can't wait for another excuse to make it again.

The forum is so fortunate to have someone with your talent hanging out with us.

You doth flatter muchly! Thank you!

I look for excuses not to make it! :D

HI KAREN,
I'M JUST STARTING OUT,BUT ONCE I START DROPPING MY SIZES AND CAN HANDLE THIS "SOUNDING SO GOOD CAKE "
THIS WILL BE THE CAKE I'LL TRY FIRST!!!! :roll:

Good choice
 

Good choice, you won't regret it!!! Karen has some fabulous recipes.

What is quark? Isn't he the ferengi from Deep Space 9?

--Kirkwood, who has just shown her geekdom to the entire board, though her question is serious!

Quark is not an atomic particle
 

Hi Kirkwood,

Good question, quark is hard to find & is not a commonly used dairy product. It is a smooth, slightly sour fresh cheese sold in tubs in the dairy/cheese section.

HTH,

Ruth

Thanks! Is there a good substitute? I really want to try this recipie!

quark substitute
 

I'm hoping Karen will get a chance to reply to this because it's her recipe & she's the food expert/chef here.

From the Cook's Thesaurus:
http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-...0001&sp-q=quark

(Fresh Cheese section) ... and hard to find, but very tasty and relatively low in fat. It makes a great topping for desserts. Substitutes: quark (very similar) OR yogurt cheese OR buttermilk cheese OR blend equal parts cottage cheese and yogurt until smooth ...
I would drain excess fluid off the cottage cheese because quark is somewhat dry.

Good luck!

Ruth

You can use all cream cheese instead of quark. I have to disagree with you Ruth. It's available at Safeway and Save-On here in Vancouver, but it may be more difficult to find in other places. It usually hangs out with the cream cheese.

Karen

Hey Karen,

It's your recipe & I'm always ready to be corrected. I don't even pretend to know it all. I'm glad you were here to disagree. ;)

Tried this last night - really great! Of course, when my husband, Dave, came home and found the bourbon, his comment was...

'Wow, when you fall of the wagon, you REALLY fall of the wagon!'

Thanks, Karen!
