Tips From the Kraft Kitchens
How To Cut Cheesecake: Wipe blade or knife with damp cloth between each cut
for clean edges.
Tips from Atkins Nutritionals
To cut chilled cheesecake into neat slices, use a long piece of dental floss.
Then wrap each piece individually and freeze. It tastes delicious right out of the freezer or bring to room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
Carbs will vary depending on the sweetener you use.
My personal favorite way of making this is to use maltitol which is a sugar alcohol so no carbs. If using Splenda add 12 carbs for 1/2 cup. I also do not use any kind of crust. Just the barebones cheesecake filling. Tastes great and few carbs.
