DIABETIC MAPLE CHEESECAKE



Diabetic Maple Cheesecake image

My diabetic adaption of Boomette's Recipe #245417. My fat and sugar content is calculated from the low fat and no sugar added syrup container labels. Now, I need to say that while I labeled this as diabetic it by no means has low numbers. It has been lightened to allow a diabetic to have a slice with family or guests without doing the damage that a full fat and sugar cheesecake would.

Garnish with berries if you like. Or, if you prefer, use almond extract instead of vanilla in the topping, and garnish with toasted, slivered almonds. * If you're making this for someone with celiac disease, be sure to double-check all the ingredients labels on the products you use. Sometimes "light" versions of dairy products...

Tips:

  • Use a sugar substitute: Instead of regular sugar, use a sugar substitute like erythritol, xylitol, or stevia. These sweeteners have little to no effect on blood sugar levels.
  • Choose a low-carb crust: Instead of a traditional graham cracker crust, use a low-carb alternative like almond flour, coconut flour, or a store-bought sugar-free crust.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese is lower in carbohydrates than low-fat or non-fat cream cheese.
  • Add some protein powder: Adding a scoop of unflavored protein powder to the cheesecake batter can help to increase the protein content and make it more filling.
  • Use berries or other low-carb fruits: Berries and other low-carb fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries can be used as a topping or filling for the cheesecake.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake overnight: Chilling the cheesecake overnight allows the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.

Conclusion:

With a few simple modifications, it is possible to make a delicious and satisfying cheesecake that is suitable for people with diabetes. By using sugar substitutes, a low-carb crust, and full-fat cream cheese, you can create a cheesecake that is low in carbohydrates and sugar, while still being rich and creamy. Adding protein powder and low-carb fruits can also help to make the cheesecake more nutritious and filling. With careful planning and a few simple swaps, you can enjoy a delicious cheesecake without sacrificing your health.
