These two recipes are from a site on the web, from Dr. Hadley. I have NOT tried any of them yet.
Low GI Cheesecake
This recipe uses a crust made from Special K cereal and contains fructose instead of sugar in the cheesecake.
1 Special K pie crust (see below)
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup fructose (use alternative sweetener if possible)
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese until soft and fluffy. Blend in fructose and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each one until mixture is smooth. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake for about 50 minutes, until set. Allow to cool and refrigerate several hours.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
*********************************************
Low GI Pie Crust: Special K (I don't eat this cereal and have no idea if it's on the SB legal list, if not, substitute a cereal like Uncle Sams, or Fiber One)
Use this pie crust in place of graham cracker crusts. Fill it with puddings, gelatin desserts, or sugar free ice cream.
3 cups Special K cereal (for 1 1/2 cups crumbs)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons fructose
4 tablespoons butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the cereal in a plastic bag and seal. Use a rolling pin to crush the cereal into crumbs, turning and shaking the bag frequently to make a consistent crumb. You will have 1 1/2 cups of crumbs.
Pour crumbs into a medium bowl stir in cinnamon and fructose. Pour in melted butter and stir with a fork until well blended and evenly distributed. Press the crumb mixture into pie dish. It will not stick as well as a traditional graham cracker crust, just press gently. It will firm up after baking. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until set. Cool slightly, then fill as desired.
