KETO STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE

I can’t tell you enough that I love cheesecakes and this gluten-free cheesecake is easily one of my favorites! Considering that I’ve made tons of carb and sugar filled cheesecakes in my life, I can’t believe that this one is low carb and has no sugar added. This Keto Strawberry Cheesecake includes a Nui Cookie Snickerdoodle crust, a 4-ingredient Keto Strawberry pie filling topping, and a low-carb vanilla cheesecake base. Since I made these in muffin tins, they’re pre-portioned and perfect for sharing. 

Ingredients

Snickerdoodle Low Carb Cheesecake Crust

• 2 packs Nui Snickerdoodle Cookies 10% off with DRDAVINAHS
• 2 tbsp Pecans, Unsalted
• 1 tbsp Salted butter melted

Sugar-free Vanilla Cheesecake

• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup Granular Monk Fruit Erythritol
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Keto Strawberry Topping

• 1 cup Strawberries I used frozen
• 2 tbsp Granular Monk Fruit Erythritol
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
• Make the crust by mixing all of the crust ingredients in a food processor
• Line the muffin tins with mini, standard or jumbo silicone molds or use a nonstick spray.
• Divide the crust across the muffin tins and press it down with a spoon to form a solid base
• Bake for 3-5 minutes. You want the crust to be golden and slightly brown. Cooking the crust will prevent it from being soggy. 
• Add all of the ingredients for the cheesecake to a stand mixer and blend until smooth
• Divide the cheesecake mixture among the muffin tins
• Add water to the bottom of a baking sheet – this is the water bath for the cheesecake
• Add the muffin pan to the water-lined baking sheet
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is almost set
• Add the strawberries, lemon juice, and sweetener to a saucepan. Cook on medium until the strawberries defrost.
• Add the Xanthan gum to the pan and continue to cook until a syrup forms. Xanthan gum serves as a thickener and cooks quickly so keep an eye on it. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Allow the cheesecakes and sauce to cool. You can top the cheesecakes with the strawberry sauce or wait until just before serving the dish.
