This is a wonderful basic low carbohydrate cheesecake that was posted on the lowcarbfriends website by beachgirl" (a different beachgirl than the one who posts here on recipezaar?). The basic recipe can be varied many ways by adding different flavored extracts or berries (note the blueberry option)."
Steps
Preheat oven to 300.
Blend the cream cheese and sweetener at slow to medium speed.
Add the extract , lemon juice and sour cream.
Mix until smooth , then add the eggs and egg yolk , one at a time , beating very slowly.
When eggs are incorporated , do not mix any more.
Always treat the batter gently.
Gentlystir blueberries in at this point if desired.
Pour the mixture into a 9 inch springform pan.
Any size pan will do , from 7.
5 to 9.
5 inches.
An 8 inch pan will give a more dramatic presentation , if you like a tall cheesecake.
Place the pan on a very large piece of aluminum foil , and fold the foil up around the pan to create a watertight barrier around the cheesecake create a waterbath by placing the springform pan in an even larger pan and fill the larger pan halfway with water.
Place the entire water bath containing the cheesecake in a 300-degree preheated oven.
