Nice - Lemon Cheesecake Filling:
Naughty - Store-bought graham cracker pie crust
Preheat oven to 375.
Beat cream cheese and Splenda until well-blended (I used an electric mixer with a paddle attachment). Blend in sour cream, lemon juice and zest, then blend in eggs one at a time (on low speed if using a mixer). Pour into pie crust and bake for 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool completely on wire rack then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Top with Blueberry Topping, if desired. Low-carbers: eat the innards, not the crust; alternately, use your favorite low-carb crust recipe. Serves 8.
Blueberry Topping
Simmer all ingredients (start with about 1/4 packet Splenda) in a small saucepan for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for sweetness as it simmers, you may want to add more Splenda. Can be used as-is, but is rather juicy. For a thicker sauce, pour contents into food processor and pulse until the blueberries are broken down. Serves 8.
Lemon Cheesecake Filling - 6g net carb per serving
Naughty Crust - 0g net carb per serving, since you ain't eating it! (14g net if you cheat, far less if you use a low-carb crust)
Blueberry Topping - 2g net carb per serving
- 16 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 c Granulated Splenda
- 4 oz Sour Cream
- 1 T Lemon Juice (add another 1/2 T for more tartness)
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest
- 2 Eggs (I used extra large eggs)
