DIRECTIONS
Combine cookie crumbs, butter, 3 tablespoons Splenda, and nuts. Press evenly in the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Chill crust while preparing the filling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
In a large bowl, whip egg whites until stiff but not dry.
In another large bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup Splenda, and flour substitute until smooth. Beat in egg yolks one at a time, blending well after each addition. Gently fold whipped egg whites into cream cheese mixture. Spoon batter into prepared crust. Slowly swirl 6 ounces of melted chocolate through cheese mixture to give a marbled effect.
Place pan on a cookie sheet in the preheated oven, and bake 60 to 70 minutes or until set. Turn off oven, and allow cake to cool in the oven with the door open. When cool, transfer to the refrigerator, and chill overnight.
Spread 3 ounces of melted chocolate on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with remaining chopped nuts, and then refrigerate until chilled. Scrape chocolate from pan to form slivers. Decorate cake with chocolate slivers by heaping over the top, and pressing vertically onto the sides of the cake.

I made this recently, and it was very good. I did change the crust because the only low carb cookies I could find were peanut butter. I made my crust with ground almonds, unsweetened coconut, cocoa powder, splenda and butter. My only problem was that the chocolate didn't swirl very well, so the top didn't look very good. I fixed it by melting some more chocolate with cream and glazing the top. Then I sprinkled on some more coconut. It was excellent. Very rich.

The filling is really good...excellent and no hint of "sugar-free" taste. This is like a real NY cheesecake.

This is so good. You would never know this what not the full carb deal. I have had this several times, and it is tasty and beautiful. The cookies can be found at Trader Joe's.

I made this cheesecake for my boyfriend's birthday because he is a low-carb freak! He loved it & so did all his friends who aren't into low-carb. He must have eaten 1/2 the cake himself! I had trouble with the chocolate slivers but it was fine without. I couldn't find low-carb flour but it's only 2Tbsp. I liked it too and I'm not a low-carb fan normally!

This is probably the best low carb dessert I've had. I'm not sure that it's quite as good as some regular cheesecakes that I've had, but it certainly will satisfy a sweet tooth if you're on a low carb diet. I went to Trader Joes, as suggested, but couldn't find the chocolate cookies. They did have an almond chip biscotti (0 carbs) which seemed to work just as well. It was pretty easy to make. I did have a little trouble getting it to swirl. Definitely let this one chill overnight. It seemed to taste better the next day.

I wanted a low-carb cheesecake, and chose this recipe because of the reviewers listed on the front page. Some said that there was no hint of a "sugar-free" taste, which I totally have to disagree with. I used Splenda for the recipe, and it still had a very strong, bitter after taste. My husband and I were craving cheesecake (we're both low-carbers), but neither of us could finish our first piece the next day. I put the rest in the freezer to pass along because I hate to waste the whole thing, but we won't be eating it. I guess it is worth mentioning the plain filling did taste better without the chocolate. Maybe it's the real sugar in the dark chocolate that makes the artificially sweetened cheesecake taste so bad?

This recipe got so many great reviews that I'm tempted to wonder if I did something wrong.. but I followed the directions EXACTLY and this cheesecake was a total disaster. I didn't overbeat the whites but the texture was extremely "meringue-y," not creamy or smooth at all. It also tasted strongly of egg, and there was a MAJOR diet-sweetener aftertaste. The only good thing about it was the crust; I used 1/2 cup cinnamon almonds as the nuts in the crust and it was good. I won't make this again, sorry.
