Original Atkins cheesecake?

[goodgal]

Hi Tom. Thanks for the welcome. My name is Sandi, and I'm low carb for life. I had a gastric bypass that wasn't very successful. So I started to low carbing it, and I'm down 210 pounds. I have lost half of the old me.

I can't exersize, due to my fibermyalgia.

Has anybody really found the origional Atkins cheesecake? I rember cream cheese, sweetner, cottage cheese, eggs and sour cream.

Here is the recipe from my copy of the 1972 Dr Atkins Diet Revolution.

Cheesecake - 12 servings

1/4 cup heavy cream
8 ounces whipped cream cheese
1.5 envelopes unflavoured gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
2 eggs at room temp - separated
3 Tablespoons vanilla essence
1/4 of a lemon - juice plus rind
6 teaspoons sweetener
3/4 cup heavy cream
Cinnamon
Pam spray

Method
Combine the 1/4 cup cream and whipped cream cheese in a saucepan and melt over a low heat.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water and add to the cheese mixture.
Stir with a wire whisk till it starts to boil and remove from the heat.
Add egg yolks, vanilla, lemon juice and rind plus 4 teaspoons of sweetener and mix. Let cool.
In a clean bowl whip 3/4 cup of cream with 1 teaspoon of sweetener.
In another bowl beat the egg whites with 1 teaspoon of sweetener.
