So nice your friends are game to try something new. I'm not much of a baker but my daughter, who also low carbs, usually makes a low carb cheese cake for holidays. They taste great, no sacrifice involved. We substitute Truvia for the sugar, from what Hana says that may be an option for you as well. The crust is a nut crust, we use pecans pulverized in a blender mixed with butter. There are tons of recipes online just search for low carb cheese cake. I have found that I can handle small amounts of strawberries so they make a good topping if you wish.
