CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE BITES
Rich milk chocolate cheesecake, very low in carbs, that I poured chocolate sauce
(a ganache made with melted sugar-free chocolate chips mixed with heavy cream, however, see alternative made with cocoa - link here)
over to make it extra decadent. On the other hand, it is so tasty, you hardly need the extra decadence. I also I think a strawberry sauce (using frozen
strawberries, thawed, cooked with sweetener, or simply blended in a blender with sweetener and then strained through a sieve) would also complement this cheesecake beautifully and it would be
like biting into a delectable chocolate strawberry truffle. Lots of ideas when one is presented with a plain chocolate cheesecake - it's fun to dress it up! Each chosen cheesecake garnish will yield a very different-tasting result. Even whipped cream and shaved or grated chocolate sprinkled over the top would be another idea.
The sweetener tables for all the most common scenarios are in my cookbooks for your convenience. For example, ¾ cup sugar sweetness (not ¾ cup liquid) using my bottle of sucralose from the EZ-Sweetz brand (whether the smaller one of 0.5 oz or the bigger yellow bottle of 2 oz – Zero carbs) would be 18 or 36 drops respectively. Here is an article and video about the sweeteners. Part 1. There is another article and video here: Part 2.
