I often remind my husband (while I’m indulging in a slice of Chocolate Cappuccino Cheesecake for breakfast), that any diet that lets me have cheesecake for breakfast is the right diet for me. It’s one of the things I love most about Trim Healthy Mama.
Most cheesecakes are very easy to adapt into a low-carb, sugar-free Trim Healthy Mama-friendly S. Cheesecake staples like cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are naturally S-friendly ingredients because they’re full of good fat and low in carbohydrates. So are other common cheesecake ingredients, like butter, whipping cream, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and nuts. A fruit topping made from berries is also acceptable for S meals.
Most often, all that’s required to convert a cheesecake to Trim Healthy Mama standards is substituting any sugar or high-glycemic sweetener for a low one like xylitol, Gentle Sweet, Super Sweet, Truvia, or Pyure. (Here’s a handy Trim Healthy Mama sweetener conversion chart to help you with that).
You’ll also want to make sure your crust does not contain any refined white flours, or high carb ingredients like graham cracker crumbs, or Oreo cookie crumbs. Some Trim Healthy Mama cheesecake recipes require Baking Blend as an ingredient in their crusts, but if the Baking Blend is not in your budget, you can also make a very simple (but delicious!) crust by grinding up nuts ecansand almonds are my usual choices) and sweetener together, and stirring it together with a little melted butter. This is how I make my crusts:

A few Trim Healthy Mama cheesecake baking tips:
- Do not bake until the middle is set; it should still jiggle a bit when you pull it out of the oven. Your cheesecake will continue to set as it cools.
- Bake your cheesecake a day or two before you need it. Sometimes alternative sweeteners leave an after taste or a cooling effect, but this tends to disappear after your dessert has had the chance to sit for a while.
- If your cheesecake happens to crack, a chocolate ganache or a whipped cream topping makes a fabulous disguise and will help to keep your cheesecake moist.
- A spring-form pan is not necessary for baking cheesecakes, although I always use my 9″ glass-bottomed one. Spring-forms are used more for presentation and easier serving than anything else.
