Chocolate cheesecake is one of the world's most decadent deserts. And it's not hard to understand why. By combining chocolate and cheesecake, you end up with a snack that is the ultimate indulgence. And, by the fact that chocolate cheesecake contains a lot of protein, you won't feel hungry after you eat it.
Yet, how can a person enjoy chocolate cheesecake if they are faced with dietary restrictions? Do they have to forgot the experience, or is there an alternative that can allow them to eat chocolate cheesecake while staying healthy? Well, thanks to different recipes, cooking techniques and ingredients, chocolate cheesecake can be consumed even on the most rigid of diets. This is because there are several different versions including: sugar-free, low-carb, organic, vegetarian, lactose-free and low-fat. More details can be found in the sections below.
1. Sugar-Free Chocolate Cheesecake
Sugar-free desserts are the perfect alternative for strict dieters, or individuals with diabetes. Either way, when you consume sugar-free chocolate cheesecake, you will treat yourself to a desert that has been flavored with a sugar substitute such as Maltitol or Splenda.
2. Low-Carb Chocolate Cheesecake
Traditional cheesecake recipes already contain a lot of protein, but thanks to their sugar content and the graham crust, it's not always the best choice for the Atkins dieter. Well, with low-carb cake, little or no sugar is used, and the crust is created from almonds instead of graham.
3. Organic Chocolate Cheesecake
Organic chocolate cheesecake is the perfect desert for environmentalists. Basically, the ingredients are created from organic farming, where no pesticides are used during cultivation. Dieting concerns or vegan/animal-rights issues are not usually addressed, though there are other an alternative if this is a concern.
4. Vegetarian Chocolate Cheesecake
If you are a vegan who cannot eat any type of meat or dairy, vegetarian chocolate cheesecake is for you. Just be aware that these types of cheesecakes use soy instead of cream cheese. The look is exactly the same, while the taste will depend on your own preferences. If you are new to veganism, it will be apparent that the cheesecake is made from soy cream cheese, but with fruit and/or extra syrup, you won't know the difference.
5. Lactose-Free Chocolate Cheesecake
If you are lactose intolerant, and you don't want to consume vegetarian chocolate cheesecake,
you can opt to get a cheesecake made from lactose-free cream cheese. And, like lactose-free milk, the overall taste is not lost despite the slight chemical differences.
6. Low-Fat Chocolate Cheesecake
If you are on a diet, and the alternatives above are not your thing, you could opt for low-fat chocolate cheesecake. There are even fat-free cheesecakes available, though you will still need to watch out for your calories. Either way, with these recipes, you can indulge on the more 'traditional' cheesecake without worrying about your waistline.
