There's an up-to-date list of Allowed Foods at the official Atkins website ... www.atkinscenter.com.
Fruits and berries are not permitted until after the 14-day Induction period. Cheese and cream cheese are limited to 3 - 4 oz per day maximum, and heavy cream is restricted also to 2 - 3 fl oz. per day. As long as you stick to the recommended portion size, the cheesecake recipe above would be fine for Induction. Just remember to adjust your intake of other high-fat dairy foods for the rest of the day to make sure you don't go over the limits.
Commercially prepared low-carb and sugar-free desserts are best avoided during Induction. The product may list the carb count on the label, but you have no way of knowing how much of any ingredient there is in there. Basically, the Rules of Induction state "if it's not on the list of Acceptable Foods, don't eat it."
