Can someone check out this desert recipe for me please

I've screenshot it from another web site. Sounds lovely. Serves 12 apparently, but am to clear if the carb count is for the whole dish or just a 1/12th of it IYSWIM.

I know that we try to avoid sweeteners on BC, but otherwise it looks OK to me... I've made a few things using cream and orange zest that actually taste very naturally 'sweet', so no sugar was needed - could be worth making it up and having a taste before adding the sweetener?

The carb count will be per portion. Use you common sense and look at the other information. The recipe calls for two pounds of cream cheese, yet gives a fat count of 28g, or one ounce. You know that two pounds or 32 ounces of cream cheese can't possibly have only one ounce of fat in it. Therefore, even if you don't know how much carb is in cream cheese (about 4g per 100g by the way, so 36g for this quantity) you can't kid yourself that this count is for the whole lot...

I think it's for one serving.

In the cream cheese there are 1.2g carbs per ounce, so I calculate that this would actually be 38.4g carbs for the whole thing - but it obviously depends on the brand of cream cheese and the exact carb count. There will also be some carbs in the cream, and probably some in the zest too.

But if you divide the 38.4 by 12, that gives you 2.9g, so not far off the 4g.

That's an awful lot of artificial sweeteners, mind you ...

Best avoided I would think. If you find the Bootcamp recipe thread there are some lovely dessert recipes on there that don't use anything artificial.
