Free Keto Meal Plan : KETO DIET PLAN FOR BEGINNERS STEP BY STEP GUIDE

Ingredients:

For the crust (optional):

  • 1 cup almond flour or crushed nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)

For the cheesecake filling:

  • 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon (optional, for flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust (if using):
    • In a bowl, mix the almond flour or crushed nuts with the melted butter and sweetener.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan to create the crust layer.
    • Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the heavy cream, keto-friendly sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest (if using).
    • Beat the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture has thickened.
  3. Assemble and Chill:
    • Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust (if using) in the pie dish or springform pan.
    • Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Chill and Set:
    • Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator.
    • Allow the cheesecake to chill and set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to firm up.
  5. Serve:
    • Once the cheesecake is well chilled and set, slice and serve.
    • You can enjoy it as is or add keto-friendly toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce, or a dollop of whipped cream.
