Ingredients
1 oz unsweetened chocolate
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp Splenda
1 tsp white Sugar Twin
1/8 tsp liquid sweetener
1/4 cup whole almonds
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp brown Sugar Twin
1 pinch salt
1/2 lb quark
1/2 lb cream cheese
2 tbsp Splenda
2 tbsp white Sugar Twin
3/4 tsp liquid sweetener
3 tbsp bourbon
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, separated
1 cup whipping cream
Directions
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Place in the freezer.
Chop the chocolate and place in a small heatproof bowl. Place over a pot
of simmering water and let the chocolate melt. Remove from the pot of
water and let cool to room temperature. Cut the 2 tablespoons butter into
small bits and stir into the chocolate until it melts. Stir in the
sweeteners.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Spread the almonds out on a baking tray
and bake until well browned, almost to the point of being burnt, about 15
minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Chop coarsely.
In a small frying pan, melt the 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat and
continue melting until it turns a rich and nutty smelling brown. Add the
nuts, brown Sugar Twin and a pinch of salt. Stir into the chocolate.
Spread out into the frozen pan. Place back in the freezer until hardened.
Break into small pieces. Return in the pan to the freezer.
Beat the quark, cream cheese, Splenda and Sugar Twin, liquid sweetener, and
vanilla together until smooth and light. Beat in the egg yolks and
bourbon. Stir in the chocolate almond bits. Beat the cream until stiff
and fold into the cheese mixture. Beat the egg whites to firm peaks and
fold into the cheese mixture. Spread evenly into the frozen pan. Freeze
for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Comments: This cheesecake was inspired by the fondness of a toasted nut
crust on another cheesecake and by wanting something, small, freeze-able
and cheesecake-like. It's not small, but can be cut small and stored in
the freezer for a long time. The alcohol prevents it from freezing rock
hard.
Quark is a light tangy cheese, similar to cream cheese. Grocery stores
carry it in the dairy section in tubs.
If the flavor seems daunting, it can be made plain or you can experiment
with other flavors, such as lemon, lime or orange zest and different
alcohol or perk it up with a few fresh, berries, folded in to the cheese
mixture.

Diet Bourbon, Chocolate And Burnt Almond ice Cream Cheescake Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight reduction diet, however many followers discover that they lose body weight when following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is far more healthful than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not build up fat. The key procedure of the zone diet is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented his weight loss regime for people who have cardiac problems, based on his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other weight loss regimes. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, fish and shellfish, parmesan cheese, peanuts, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, such as lentils, eggplant and mushrooms. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like fatty meat and hard cheeses. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition and weightloss system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the famous atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to transform into energy, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we cut down on carbohydrates, our bodies will use up our stored fat and we will reduce weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all nutritionalists are in agreement and many think it might be hazardous. |
