Hi,
I'm here for the first time reading your low-carb recipes.
I live in Finland, so my english isn't very well. And I do not understand for exemple all the meanings of different ingrediants in cakes and so on.

And now I wonder, if this cheesecake is really made without any flover. I think it's not a cake at all, just a toping.

welcome kaarina! it is nice to meet you! cheesecake has no flour in it at all! the cream cheese and eggs make it thick. it is like a really hard custard. it is delicious!

This has to be one of the best cheesecakes I've ever taste - low carb or not! AMAZING!

Man, I gotta get a spring-form pan! This sounds so awesome! And nutritious.

I just got one of those microplane things for zesting. It makes me feel like a goddess in the kitchen!

Thanks for the recipe!

Hi, I'm a new member and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which recipes are for Induction dieters??? Is there a special section that I can go to? Also, I'm reading on some of the forums that people drink coffee and tea. I thought this was really not allowed? Regards, danbus

my daughter is making this for my birthday, it looks great!!

Just made this.Absolutely delicious!

Just got to have this,Right now ,wow

I made thi lad night. It's chilling in the fridge at home, I can't wait to taste it.

I just read this recipe, and it solved my Thanksgiving dessert problem. I don't have a springform pan, so right after I read the recipe, I went on-line to Target and ordered one, ($12.99). Thank you so much for this dessert idea!

Looks good! I'll be trying it this weekend. THanks

This DOES sound good. May give it a test drive my next cheesecake. Thanks for bumping this one up, Redgoat!

2lb of creamcheese... that would be about the same price of the best fillet steak here.... no contest! It sounds great, but I'll give it a miss....

We made it and it smelled heavenly. Let it cool in the fridge overnight and had it the next day. I was very tastey! I did add the optional orange and lemon zest, BF thought it could have used a little less orange zest, I used a smaller orange and an average sized lemon.
