Sugar Free Chocolate Peanutbutter Swirl Cheesecake

[Max99]

I've got one of these in the oven right now.....

You can make this with or without the crust. This is really an OWL recipe due to the Almonds and Peanut Butter.

Crust:

1 cup almonds
2 T. Flaxseed meal
1 T. Butter
2 packets Splenda

Process the almonds in food processor or blender until coarse.
Add butter, splenda and flaxseed meal
Mix all until it is a course consistency
Press into greased springform pan (hint, if you wet fingers it is easier to press it down)

Batter:

2 - 8oz packages cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
4 tsp. Vanilla extract
12 packets Splenda
2 T. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 T. Natural Peanut Butter


Whip cream cheese
Whip in Sour Cream
Whip in each egg individually
Whip in Vanilla and Splenda

Separate 2 portions of 3/4 cup of batter
To one 3/4 cup portion add peanut butter and whip
To the other 3/4 cup portion add cocoa powder and whip

Pour plain batter into crust
Pour peanut butter batter around top of plain then add chocolate on top of that.
Use a spoon to stir very gently to create swirl pattern
Bake in 350 oven about 30-40 minutes (done with lightly brown around edges)
Turn off oven and leave cake in for 3-4 hours
Remove cake and cool in fride overnight
Slice into 10 slices

WOW, I hadn't actually made this before, sort of created it today, so I posted the recipe while it was still in the oven with my fingers crossed. Anyhow, I just cut a small slice and it is TO DIE FOR!!! It is so rich and tastes like a peanutbutter cup. I was hoping I wouldn't have to remove the recipe because it was a flop

Hi Paula, I edited my original post. The Almonds and Peanut butter make this a Rung #3 OWL item. You could make it without the peanut butter and the crust, and just have a chocolate swirl cheesecake. Keep in mind that you will pretty much max out your cheese allowance for the day if you have it during Induction.
