Chocolate Cheesecake Without The Calories? You'd Better Believe It...
Making cheesecake with Lo-Dough is incredibly easy. First off, make the crumb. Add some Lo-Dough crumbs, some butter and some sweetener/syrup into a pan and cook over a medium-high heat until golden brown.
Make up the cheese mix according to your diet.
- For slimming, use a combination of light soft cheese and quark. You might light to add a leaf of gelatine to this as it will be a softer set than normal.
- For a keto cheesecake, go with full-fat soft cheese and mascarpone.
Stir in a little sweetener (we use powdered erythritol), cocoa and a small drizzle dark or milk chocolate as per your preferences - darker chocolate will generally have less sugar. Mix well, put on top of your crumbs and leave in the fridge to set for an hour or two.
Simple Dessert Ideas
That's it. Less than 10-15 minutes effort and a low-fat/low-sugar/low-carb dessert is all yours. It's also an economical use of your Lo-Dough as 1 piece will give you 2 cheesecakes.
