Ingredients
Instructions
- Allow the cream cheese to soften.
- Add the cream cheese, egg, Nutra-Sweet, and vanilla to a mixing bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth.
- Spray a small baking dish with Pam and pour the cream cheese mixture into it.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until the top begins to turn a very light brown.
- Garnish with chopped walnuts before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If you prefer a less sweet cheesecake, reduce the amount of Nutra-Sweet to taste. You can also substitute the Nutra-Sweet with other low-carb sweeteners like erythritol or stevia. For added flavor, consider mixing in a bit of lemon zest or a splash of almond extract.
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled, garnished with chopped walnuts for a delightful crunch. This low-carb cheesecake pairs beautifully with a side of fresh berries or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving it alongside a Vanilla Shake for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, place a slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or until warmed through. For best texture, avoid overheating as this can change the consistency.
