Keto Cheesecake

"If you’ve got a sweet tooth, it’s highly unlikely you’ll want to give up the creamy, decadent dessert that is cheesecake. But if you’re following the ketogenic diet, you know that regular cheesecake isn’t exactly low carb. In fact, one small piece of cheesecake, on average, can contain up to 45 grams of carbs per slice—which means it could easily have you kissing ketosis goodbye. That is, unless you’re up for the task of making your own keto cheesecake at home… (and we’re willing to bet this will become one of your favorite low-carb recipes). This keto cheesecake recipe contains minimal ingredients and is easy to make. By swapping refined sugar for stevia, and all-purpose flour for an almond flour crust, the carb count for this cheesecake recipe drops down to 12 grams net carbs per slice, and 61 grams total fat. Luckily, the traditional ingredients that give cheesecake its signature soft and creamy texture—such as cream cheese, sour cream, and butter—are high-fat and keto-friendly."
