Yes, sinful and low carb might sound a bit contradictory…
I must just warn you, this Low Carb French Silk Cheesecake IS really sinful – it’s rich, decadent and probably has a gazillion calories – but who’s counting…?!
{It IS low carb, sugar-free and obviously gluten-free 🙂 }
Anyways, before I get to the recipe, I have a little story to share…
For those of you living in South Africa, you’ll know the Careers 24 ad, where the person doesn’t know what to say when asked ‘what do you do’ and continues to say something really silly or make a silly sound.
For those of you not familiar with the ad – here it is:

So, as a food blogger/stay-at-home-mom/entrepreneur/whatever, I really battle with that question!!!
So I usually just say that I don’t work.
{Hello!!!! What a silly answer – almost as silly as the ‘Cabbage Baggage Designer’!!}
It really irks me that I’d answer that – I most certainly DO NOT, not work!
I might not work for someone else, I might not even make any money, but I most certainly do work:
I am a mom and wife, raising 3 boys {ages 2, 4 and 35} 😉
I am a blogger, recipe developer and foodie {it says so on my business card!!}
When people hear that you ‘don’t work’, they immediately get this picture of a spoilt, lazy, lady-of-leisure…
So, in honour of Women’s Month, let us girls own our titles – whatever it may be – and don’t be shy about it!
{Feeling empowered – yay!}
Now, go and make this delicious Low Carb French Silk Cheesecake, put your feet up and enjoy a guilt-free slice:
Happy Women’s Month!
P.S. If you know someone who might like my snippet of advice, or is in need of a slice of this magnificent tart, share this recipe!

I use either the Kiri tub of cream cheese or Philidelphia.
Hope that helps!
