Cheesecake that looks and tastes like traditional NY style cheesecake…but without all the fat, calories, and sugar.
A large serving of this high-protein, low-carb cheesecake is only 110 calories, 6g fat / 5g carbs / 10g protein. The recipe makes 9 servings total.
You can even further reduce the fat if you use fat-free cream cheese, but I prefer the flavor using reduced-fat or full-fat cream cheese.
