I've never tried this for several reasons, the main 2 are...for me, cream cheese (although allowed on Atkins) is a no-no. I can not exercise portion control with it. Before I know it, I've eaten an entire package

I also avoid sugar-free Jello due to it containing aspartame. While this may not be a problem for some, for me, I avoid it.

All the best to you!

The Southbeach cookbook a friend gave me has several recipes for Ricotta cream, which are basically Ricotta cheese sweetened with Splenda and other flavorings (like almond extract and slivered almonds for one, instant coffee and cocoa powder for a mocha flavored one). I hadn't tried them, but I did sweeten about 1/4 cup of reduced fat ricotta with splenda to use as a dip for strawberries, it was really good.

I just whipped up a batch with lime jello it looks good. How many servings do you think this makes? What would be the carb count per serving. I poured it into 5 seperate little glass dishes.

You can make your own Jello using Splenda:

I tried this with the jello and cream cheese and wasn't too crazy about it, like someone else said, it was cream cheese with jello in it and I'm not a huge jello fan. But there is a recipe in the SBD section of the forum for breakfast cheesecake, made with cc, eggs, and cottage cheese, and that was really yummy, more like cheesecake, and with a spoonful of sf strawberry preserves on top, oh boy! I felt guilty eating it for breakfast, and DH liked it too. We had it for dessert.
I like the Ricotta cheese dessert too, with different flavorings and nuts and things in it. Very satisfying if you've got the munchies.

Good as those 2 suggestions sound....neither of them contain ingredients allowed on Atkins Induction.

These are several Atkins Induction friendly cheecakes:
