Fruit Pizza, only 5 carbs, HUSBAND & KID friendy, PICS
Fruit pizza was ALWAYS one of my favorite desserts! If you have never tried it, you absolutely must! Here is a low carb version, but I swear you would NEVER know it! Your husbands and children will love this!!!!
Each bite tastes like a different flavored cheesecake. I know, I know, you are all looking at this fruit thinking there is no way I could eat that much fruit on my level of Atkins, right? Well guess what, ALL, and I do mean ALL, of that fruit you see in the pictures is only 110 calories, and just 23 carbs (less than 2 carbs per slice!). Every single gram has been accurately measured on my electronic scale, and verified by Fitday. By the way, this is also 84.4% fat for those of you on Banta, or fat fasting! (Check your program parameters) Here is the finished pizza. Step by step pics are below, with reviews! ![]() This is so simple! Mix 2 cups almond flour, 1 stick butter, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup sweetener blend. ![]() Spread into 10" pan and bake for 15 minutes. Cool at room temp, or in freezer. ![]() Mix 10 ounces cream cheese, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 cup sweetener mix. ![]() Spread mixture onto crust, and bake in water bath at 325 for 35 minutes. (the picture doesn't show it very well, but the entire cheesecake is "floating" in about 1/2 inch of water) this is what is meant by water bath. ![]() Here it is fully cooked. Don't let it brown, just look for it to have a "dry" look. Cool at room temp, or in freezer. ![]() Top with your favorite fruits. You are DONE!!! How simple was that???? ![]() Cut into 12 slices. ![]() Enjoy. ![]() (OPTIONAL) Share with a friend. ![]() REVIEWS: Myself: Love it! Can't really tell the difference from the non low carb version. Wife: Love it! Just a tad too sweet. Friend: Love it! Did not taste low carb at all. Coconut might taste good in here. This is absolutely AWESOME as is, but I agree with my friend. Some toasted coconut might be good sprinkled on top, or maybe just a tablespoon of coconut oil in the crust. Here is the nutritional info: 2 Cups Almond Flour...............1280 calories........24 carbs.......112 fat.......48 protein 10 ounces Cream Cheese..........990 calories.......7.5 carbs.........99 fat.......21 protein 1 egg......................................71 calories.......(.4)carbs..........5 fat........6 protein 1 stick Butter..........................814 calories.........0 carbs.........93 fat........1 protein Mandarin Oranges (100grams)......38 calories.........8 carbs..........0 fat.........1 protein Strawberries (78 grams)..............25 calories......4.5 carbs..........0 fat......(.5) protein Blueberries (42 grams)................24 calories.........5 carbs..........0 fat.........0 protein Pineapple (49 grams)..................23 calories......5.5 carbs..........0 fat.........0 protein Sweetener Blend.......................60 calories.......4.3 carbs..........0 fat.........0 protein Totals..................................3325 calories.....59.2 carbs.......309 fat.....77.5 protein Per serving (12 slices)..............277 calories.........5 carbs.........26 fat........6.5 protein Here are a few more tips: 1) The crust and the filling both call for 1/2 cup sweetener. I thought it was perfect, but I like things really sweet. You might want to start with 1/3 cup for each, and sweeten to taste. Remember, you can always add, but you can never take away 2)This is my preferred sweetener blend: (1) Cup Erythritol, (1) Splenda Quick Pack, and (1/4) Teaspoon Stevia. It is a well known fact on here that combining sweeteners has a synergenic effect, to where the total sweetness adds up to well over the sum total of the individual sweeteners. For example, 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 3) I'll bet this would also turn out really well in a no-bake version. Simply eliminate the egg from the crust and the filling. Add water, oil, or butter instead for consistency, and save the baking and cooling times. 4) I used 10 ounces of cream cheese because that is what I had on hand. You could probably use as little as 8 ounces, or as much as 16 ounces. Last edited by bobo36us; 10-11-2008 at 09:33 PM.. |

OMG! That looks terrific! I can't wait to have an occasion to make it. (It's obviously too much for just my husband and me.)
I do have a question, though. Usually a water bath means you put the pan in a larger pan with water in it. Your directions say "Spread mixture onto crust, and bake in water bath at 325 for 35 minutes. (the picture doesn't show it very well, but the entire cheesecake is "floating" in about 1/2 inch of water) this is what is meant by water bath." Does that really mean that the water is in the same pan with the crust? That's what it sounds like to me, but I'm afraid to try it without having that verified. Thanks in advance for the clarification. |

elenkay..................the water is in the larger pan, not actually in with the crust. In the picture below, the larger pan is about 1/2 deep. It is filled about halfway up (1/4 inch) with water. You just can't see it in the pic because the water is clear, but there is about 10 to 12 ounces of water floating in the larger pan.
Then you wrap the smaller pan in foil so that the water doesn't leak through to the crust. This is only if you are using a two piece spring form pan like I did. If I didn't wrap it in foil, the water would have leaked through the seam of the pan and made my crust soggy. If you were using a one piece pan, like a pie pan, you wouldn't need to put the foil around it, you could simply put the pan directly in the water. Also, this will easily keep in the refrigerator for at least a week. So if you and your husband each enjoy just one piece per day, it will be all gone in just six days. ![]() Hope this helps. ![]() Last edited by bobo36us; 10-12-2008 at 06:14 AM.. |

It's beautiful! I used to make something like that where the crust was baked but the cream cheese mixture wasn't. I think it was just whipped cream folded into beaten cream cheese.

Looks Awesome Bobo. Your crust recipe looks amazing. I will try this soon, but may still just mix cream cheese and whipped cream and spread on cooked crust. My original one was made with cream cheese, cool whip and vanilla. I have also folded in instant pudding to the filling before. Now we need to work on a veggie pizza, that one used crescent rolls for the crust. Cream cheese and ranch for filling and lots of chopped veggies for topping, Some people add cheese. Fruit pizza is a mainstay of showers, graduation parties, picnics, etc. here in MI. My daughter is in the Air Force in TX. She made it( HC version) for a potluck at the base and no one had ever heard of it. They loved it. She is really finding out how regional food is. She makes things she grew up eating or saw all her life and other airmen are amazed at her creativity having never heard of alot of the things she brings. Of course that may be because she is one of the few that actually cooks ![]() Last edited by shadowzip; 10-12-2008 at 07:13 AM.. |

Dee................I always knew you were a big ol' boozer
![]() A quality I very much admire in a woman ![]() jfarmer.............this has always been a big party hit here too. It's a very unique dessert, and I've yet to meet a person that didn't love the regular version. BABSY...............I used about 1 1/2 ounces of Blueberries, 1 1/2 ounces of Pineapple, 3 ounces of Strawberries, and 4 ounces of Mandarin Oranges. The calorie and carb counts are below the pics in the original post. But you can use whatever your favorite fruits are. Don't put on Blueberries if you don't like them, or can't find good ones. Use twice as much Pineapple, and less Strawberries if you really like Pineapple. I have also added grapes and kiwis before. You could also add raspberries or blackberries. Weigh the fruit out and enter it into Fitday if you want to know exactly what your toppings add up to. You can see from the pic above though that the fruit is kind of self-limiting on carbs, there simply isn't room to add any more. So if you didn't want to do any counting or weighing at all, just remember that the pizza above, LOADED with fruit, only has 23 fruit carbs. Just wanted to say congrats on your amazing loss too. You have a really pretty face. Are you really 30 pounds under goal? As far as the marriage thing.........I always wondered what MCKinney looked like this time of year ![]() LindaSue, 24fan.....................yea, this is super easy and hard to mess up. The filling could EASILY be no bake without the egg. Possibly even the crust. shadowzip....................you mentioned whipped cream, how does this sound....... cream cheese base with whipped cream topping, topped with strawberry, pineapple, banana, and toasted cocunut!!! YUMMY!!!! Have you ever had a Hawaiian Blizzard at Dairy Queen??? As far as the veggie pizza, you might be able to adapt this recipe: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/lo...414-pizza.html Everybody...............this also makes a great breakfast! I just love waking up to something sweet sometimes (a nice change from bacon and eggs every day). Last edited by bobo36us; 10-12-2008 at 08:13 AM.. |

Lauren..................The recipe is actually about 95% yours!!!!! I was looking at your 'Blueberry Cheesecake Bars', and it reminded me of the fruit pizza I used to make.
Your website is AWESOME, and very informative. I also LOVE all the pics, but couldn't find one of you anywhere??? 5'11" and 140pounds............HAWT !!! Your desserts are INCREDIBLE! I will probably try a few of them, starting with your Blueberry Muffins next!!! Everybody......................If you haven't checked out Laurens goodies yet (lol), you can find them here: Healthy Indulgences Dee......................Bacardi and Diet is my poison of choice ![]() Also LOVE Sambuka shots, but usually don't indulge on low carb because of all the sugar ![]() Yes, posting mistakes can happen easily after one has had a few (so I've heard) ![]() This was todays lunch. If anyone here hasn't tried the Broiled Skillet Pizza yet, you really should I have been adding fresh tomatoes lately, it adds an unbelievably fresh tomato flavor. I made one of these for a non low carber yesterday, and he said it was actually one of the best, freshest pizzas he's ever tasted. ![]() Last edited by bobo36us; 10-12-2008 at 10:58 AM.. |
