Mock Danish recipe has brightened my day!

[mommiedearest]

Like most people, I quit "doing Atkins" b/c of boredom/lack of variety. Now I see it was a lack of creativity on my part. Thank God (and I really do thank Him) for others who share their great ideas... what a difference this time around. NOW I believe this is a lifestyle I can live with... not just a diet to be endured!

I found this recipe on here earlier, but didn't have cream cheese... so I ran to the store and as soon as I got home, tore into the package to get started. (I'm on induction day 5 and really missing something sweet!)

I mixed the ingredients as directed (adding about 1/4 tsp of lemon juice for that 'cheesecake' taste), then sprayed a large plate with butter flavored nonstick spray...poured it on and sprinkled with the *teeniest* bit of cinnamon... then microwaved for about 50 secs.

The result looked like custard. I let it cool, then I rolled it up like a crepe... and YUM! It is heavenly! I can't wait to make one for my DH who is also doing Atkins. (He's a recovering cheesecake-aholic!)


Here's the recipe as it was posted by 'Changing': (Bless her heart!)


Mock Danish
one serving

2 oz cream cheese (2)
1 large egg, beaten(0.6)
1 packet Splenda(1)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract(0.3)

Put cream cheese in a small, microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until softened. Remove from microwave. Stir in the egg, Splenda and vanilla extract into the cream cheese. Put back into microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes.

Total carbs: 3.9 grams
Fiber: 0 grams
Net carbs: 3.9 grams
Cheese allowance: 2
Sweetener allowance: 1

*Note: Cream cheeses vary in carb count. So be sure to check your packages. Also note that some people add a tablespoon of fiber supplement to their Mock Danish to give it a more "bready" (sturdy) texture. If you do this, you MUST include the the fiber supplement carbs.

Kindest regards!

You are so right that boredom doing Atkins is due to lack of creativity or failing to branch out and try new and exciting foods. My biggest problem is finding enough meals in a week to try all the exciting new recipes that Atkins, with it's high fat allowances and luxurious ingredients, makes possible!
