Interesting twist on Cheese Cake

[sadie147]

I saw this on the Surreal Gourmet, he did a low carb show.

Literally a cheese cake (and not induction friendly) you have a to click on the link and check out the picture of it:

http://www.foodtv.ca/recipes/reciped...px?dishid=6921

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of port (not the fancy stuff) optional—and not low-carb friendly,
• 2 x 6-inch rounds camembert cheese
• 1 pt mascarpone cheese

• 1/4 lb. blue cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup shelled pistachios

Directions:

1. In a small pot over high heat, reduce port until only a couple of tbsps of thick sauce remain. Let cool. Set aside 1/4 of mascarpone cheese, then blend port reduction with remaining mascarpone. Reserve.
2. Set aside a dozen nuts, then place remaining nuts in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Reserve.
3. Create cake by “icing” the top of the first round of Camembert with blue cheese. Set the second round of Camembert on top of icing, then “ice” entire cake with port-infused mascarpone. Pat down the sides of your cake with pistachio. Use a small piping bag or a clipped re-sealable bag to pipe unadulterated mascarpone crowns on cake. Top with whole pistachios, if desired.

There's also a very intersting no bread garlic bread on the link made with cauliflower and porkrinds.

Even better, the show is scheduled for play May 4th (Friday)! I'm surprised that Bob is doing an LC episode (he never struck me as an LCer) but even MORE surprised that he's using pork rinds...I'll have to watch the show and see what he's got to say about where he gets his rather advanced LC approach! At least, that's how I see it compared to the other token LC efforts I have seen on TV so far...

VERY interesting.

Re: Interesting twist on Cheese Cake

you know islandgirl, I too was impressed because he rarely does anything low carb friendly. One thing i did notice is he doesn't seem to konw much about low carb dieting, he kept calling all the recipes 'zero carb' which they aren't, the daikon, nuts in the cheesecake etc all contain carbs.

Worth watching the show though...Colin Mockery (sp?) is on it..I love him!

I have digital cable, and they happen to have that episode on the on-demand food channel which is how i caught it early.
