I have sweet tooth. I love dessert and if it’s lemony I love it even more. So when I was tasked to make a low carb cheesecake or keto cheesecake recipe I just knew it had to have lemon. And blueberries because they are low in calories but high in taste, nutrients and anti-oxidants – and right now they are in season. So you’ve got to try my no-bake Keto Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake recipe.
Avoiding Carbs in Cheesecake
While it tastes yummy, the typical piece of cheesecake is loaded with sugar, carbs and fat. Seriously. A piece of cheesecake contains more than 250 calories and a whopping 18 grams of fat! The danger in this dessert isn’t even in the calories, it’s in the amount of saturated fat hiding in each slice which is almost 10 grams! It’s true not all fat is bad but saturated fat can raise your cholesterol, which can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends eating less than 13 grams of saturated fat per day, so one slice of cheesecake is almost your whole daily allotment.
Low-Carb Cheesecake Recipe
I’m also a huge fan of Stevia. I use it all the time instead of sugar. What is Stevia? It’s a calorie-free sugar substitute that is created from the stevia plant. Stevia is popular among health foodies, dieters and diabetics because it does not increase blood glucose levels. I keep packets in my purse at all times and the liquid version for cooking. Pyure Stevia is one of my favorite brands.
