These are a keeper!

I put about 4 bittersweet Ghiardelli chocolate chips on top of mine before baking! I am in heaven today! Chocolate Chip cheesecakes.

oneyearsweet · 10-28-2007, 01:33 PM

I am getting 15 carbs for 8 oz's of Philly Cream Cheese!! So 30 for 2. Adding in the rest makes it approx 4 carbs a muffin??? Back on pg 2 it says only 2 carbs. Is my math wrong? 1tblsp has 1 carb, 15tblsp in 8 oz's=15 carbs?

There are actually 16 tbl in 8 ounces. Philly lists 1 carb per ounce so it would be 8 carbs for 8 ounces or 16 carbs for 16 ounces.

My Philly Cream cheese says 1 oz has <1 g carbs, so 8 oz = <8 g carbs.

Mine says 1 carb per 1 tblsp. Sorry I am bad at math, but that is more carbs than yours right? Maybe cause I'm in Canada?

Does your package say 1 serving is an ounce or a tbl? 1 ounce = 2 tbls.

My box says nothing about tablespoons. Serving size=1 oz, <1 g per serving.

I just tried the pumpkin version...SOOOO good! Thanks to everyone for sharing your great ideas.

oneyearsweet · 10-28-2007, 03:25 PM

Says "per 1 tbsp" and carbs are 1g. Yikes.

The lowfat cream cheese has a higher carb count. What are you using?

Madam De Leon · 10-28-2007, 03:54 PM

I just looked up cream cheese on Nutrition data.com, and both the low fat and fat free versions have 2 g carbs per oz.

The full fat version is 1 g carbs per oz.

Mine is regular. I guess kraft canada makes it different.

cnklove38 · 11-07-2007, 06:13 PM

Where did I go wrong!?!?! Mine taste really really bad...I used liquid splenda...is that why?!?!

Madam De Leon · 11-07-2007, 07:16 PM

I've used both flavored Da Vinci syrup and granular splenda, both turn out fine.

You didn't try to eat them warm, did you? You really, really need to refrigerate them for several hours before eating - they're like little miniature cheesecakes.

jacksmixedtape · 11-07-2007, 09:34 PM

Made this in a mug in the microwave with a bit of whey protein isolate instead of egg, and they were delish! Didn't have to wait for it to cool and it was like lemon cheesecake.

Definitely going to be making these properly with some cocoa powder. Awesome recipe!

Dreamtrue · 11-09-2007, 11:24 AM

I was wondering if anyone did this recipe and seperated the eggs. Beating the egg whites and then folding the rest in? Would that make it fluffier?

kycowgirl · 11-09-2007, 12:00 PM

I found these recipes in "The 30-day Low-Carb Diet Solution" book

I don't know if that is why, but to me they just taste bad. Eating them warm or cold they tasted bad. Also plenty of people say they taste like mini cheesecakes and I wonder how long it's been since they had a real cheesecake because to me they taste like a really poor version of a cheescake.

To each his own, but I personally do not like these no matter how they are prepared. I ended up tossing most of them.

michelemomof2 · 11-11-2007, 01:05 PM

I just made these and I put them in the refrigerator to cool. Thanks for the recipe.

bluelips · 12-05-2007, 05:37 AM

I have went through this whole 16 page thread to try and find out how to add these into ****** with the totals and I just can't find it. Can someone help me break this down so I can add it in there?

Off My Duff · 12-12-2007, 03:56 PM

Thank you for all these great ideas! I just got my first bottles of DaVinci's in, so I want to make some flavored cheesecakes tomorrow.

Caly1 · 12-12-2007, 05:52 PM

Thank goodness for these. I am pms'ing sooo bad and wanted to binge on ice cream and then I remembered these! I haven't made them in about a year, I was completely addicted to them last year! lol, they HAVE to be refridgerated. I think they are best the next day and sooooo great with coffee.

Miz10pin · 12-14-2007, 09:48 AM

Bump!!!

Off My Duff · 12-14-2007, 04:09 PM

I made my first batch today. Instead of Splenda, I substituted 1/4 cup of SF DaVinci's Toasted Marshmallow.

They are delicious! They don't really taste at all like marshmallow. They just taste like a plain cheesecake, but they are good.

I used only one egg, and thought they were even ok when warm.

Thank you for sharing the recipe here.

Boudica · 12-24-2007, 09:38 AM

How about some......

Egg Nog Muffins

8 oz cream cheese
1 whole large egg
1/4 C SF Davinci vanilla syrup
1/2 t rum extract
1 t nutmeg

Blend everything together. Cook like regular cream cheese muffins. Makes 6
