chocolate chip cheesecake low-carb version
Since I've been committed to losing weight by following a low-carb lifestyle one of the desserts that I've missed the most has been cheesecake. I revamped this recipe from my traditional cheesecake recipe. The addition of the chocolate chips just set this off and made it perfect! One serving has 195 calories and 7 net carbs, so you can enjoy this as an occasional dessert or treat without guilt.
