Ah, yes, the portion control issue!

I don't understand the workings of the diet well enough to understand the portion control issue completely - although if you check those low carb dessert recipes, you'll see that if you eat the whole thing, it's going to add up to a fair number of carbs.

But I confront the same problem. There's a great recipe for chocolate mousse, virtually all whipping cream and just a little unsweetened cocoa and Splenda, that I love.

Since I live alone, I just slash the recipe in thirds and make it up that way. Instead of six servings, I end up with two. I put each in its own little bowl, and have two nights worth of mousse. MUCH easier to control myself that way, and even if I were to go hog-wild and eat them both in one night, which so far I've managed to avoid, I would end up with only two servings, not six.

You might try this approach with the cheesecakes as well and cook them in little souffle bowls.
