Kate's Low-carb Cheesecake

• portions: Servings: about 8

Ingrédients

Filling:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup Truvia

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

Liquid Stevia (vanilla flavored)

Crust:

2 tbs softened butter

1/4 cup almond flour

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 - 2 servings of stevia extract (or 1 tbsp. Truvia)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Set out cream cheese to soften. Spread softened butter over the surface of a round pie dish using a paper towel. Combine remaining ingredients for the crust in a mixing bowl (adding more flour or butter until crumbly), and spread in the buttered pie dish. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool completely.

When crust is cool and cream cheese is softened, whip the cream cheese in a bowl with sugar substitute and lemon juice.

Add a dropper (about 1/4 tsp) of the liquid Stevia to the cream in a blender (or using a hand mixer, blend into the cream cheese mixture) and blend until soft peaks form. If you whipped the cream in the blender, combine with cream cheese mixture.

Place mixture over crust and refrigerate until firm (2-4 hours).

Serve plain, or try one of these: fresh berries, or dark chocolate shavings, or chopped nuts and sugar-free caramel topping.
