This pie tastes too good to be legal on Atkins. And VERY filling!

I may be looking in the wrong place for the soy flour and almond flour carb counts so not sure of the total carbs of this cheese cake. I am guessing this cake is around 80 carbs total, but an accurate count would be wonderful.

Can anyone help!!

* NOTE: I put frozen strawberries in a pan with the water and continued to bring to a boil.
** You can substitute any fruit **



This Filling has been used in my family for years it is very simple and very good. I did substitute regular sugar with the splenda and you can't taste a difference to the original.

Hoping this cheese cake is legal!!

Splenda has 24 grams of carbs per cup and the counts for all the rest of the ingredients can be found above in Low Carb Tools.

Hi Karen.

Thank you for sharing the carb count in a cup of Splenda!

I think I will take this cheese cake back to the kitchen and retry with lower carbs.

Not as high as a regular cheese cake but certainly higher then I would want to have at this time of the program.

If my calculations were correct this cheese cake is just over 93 carbs total.

Will re work it to get the carbs down and resubmit, with carbs included!

Being new to this forum I am learning alot!!

Thank You again Karen

Bye for now! :wave:
