[Zeigler]

2012 is the year for homemade cheescake.

Ill be posting up photos/recipes on each cake and also how I'd change it next time to make it better.

Heres one to get started, a 1kg toffee/cinamon one I made last night!

MACROS

CHANGES
- More oats in base and pre-cook for longer until harder
- Peanut butter instead of oil in base to reduce fat content so I can add more soft cheese
- Could use coconut oil and desiccated coconut for base
- Swap quark for another pot of soft cheese
- Swap cottage cheese for quark or greek yoghurt
- Add peanut butter into filling

Sounds healthier than a shop bought one anyway!

[Zeigler]

Taste pretty damn good.

Definitely needs more soft cheese instead of quark and cottage cheese to make it more dense. Nothing beats a really thick shop bought one so thats my next goal!

will be watching this

heres one of mine from a few weeks ago....

500g Cream cheese
few tablespoons cocoa
50g MP Chocolate whey
some almond flour
4 eggs
splenda

cant remember the recipe i used but it was on a low carb site somewhere so excuse the lack of macros and measurements, pretty decent tasting all the same, but more of a tart than massive cheesecake lol

[Zeigler]

Awesome. It looks quite thick and dense, was it?

Macros look like they'd be super low carb and pretty high on protein, I think i'll use some whey in mine once im back to training.

[badly_dubbed]

yea, was just like a proper cheese cake texture, even the young lad liked it and he only eats crap! (hes 4!)

was geared for keto so the carbs were almost zero (minimal from the almond flour and cocoa and cream cheese)

That's what she said... about Elvis.

BOOM!

Back on topic,

Those look absolutely delicious(don't use that in a return comment, Elvis!). You have both gone up in my books(...or that!).

Is it as difficult to make, as I imagine?

[badly_dubbed]

no its simple! im the worlds worst cook (honest!)

check out

Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Recipes

Took roughly 25 mins to make it all and get it into the oven....simple as!

Also works out proper cheap - all the stuff i bought was sainsburys own brand so didnt cost much over £3.50 or something silly.

Nice one, BD! I (the wifey) will give one of these a go, this weekend!
