My first attempt was a success.
Well I decided my time had come. It's amazing that I have eaten low carb this long and never had tried to make a low carb cheesecake recipe. Don't know why, seems like its one of those things that most low carb people go nuts for. I guess it's a mix of having had the Cheesecake Factories cake recently and also visiting my family where we have a kitchen we could cook in that inspired me to try it. I did some research on some recipes. For me it's all about simple. Few ingrediants and little effort is what I go by. I like food but I don't want to spend my entire day in the kitchen. That's why I went for this recipe on About.com:

Low Carb Cheesecake Recipe

It was pretty simple and didn't take me much time to make at all. The actual cheesecake is very smooth and creamy and was very yummy. It's rich, but not as rich as some others. My only disappointment was with the crust. It wasn't as crunchy as I would have liked. It started that way when it was baked, but got soft with the cake added to to it. I might try using walnuts or pecans to see if they create a different texture. Might not be as low carb, but may have a consistency I like more. 

Do you have a cheesecake recipe that is low carb that you like? Share it in the comments. Let's crack the code of deliciousness. Together we can!

I broke the lid of my wife's butter dish. The same blue one that's in the pictures of you making the cheesecake. Do yo know where I can find the butter dish? If not, will you sell me yours?

Ed, that's my moms butter dish. Not sure where she got it but she has had it for a while. I'll pass your request along to see if she knows more or is interested in parting with it.
