More tips for keto baking:
- Find low carb substitutions for your current favorite recipes. Like almond flour instead of wheat flour and stevia instead of cane sugar.
- Maintain a healthy balance of protein and fats. Sometimes its hard to get enough fat and/or protein in a ketogenic diet so be sure to include a balance of both in your dishes.
- Plan ahead and use tools like this Meal Planning Printable to reach maximum success.
- Find recipes that you love, like these Keto Mint Chocolate Cookies, Dark Chocolate Almond Bars or Keto Turtle Cookies and use them in your must bake list.
- Be sure to stock the kitchen with helpful tools (aff links) like this food scale, these measuring cups and a Kitchen Aid mixer.
When I recently hosted a keto potluck I had friends try this cheesecake, my Keto Chocolate Almond Caramel Cheesecake, this Keto Fatso Salted Caramel Cheesecake and my Keto Blackberry Cheesecake to help me decide which one was the best. Needless to say, we never did come up with a winner, they’re all delicious!
Cut the cheesecake into sixteen servings. Each serving is:

If I had to chose I would say that this cheesecake is my favorite by just a smidge because of the light combination of flavours. I also like that it is the lowest carb of all of my cheesecake recipes and low calorie as well. This recipe was originally published on Homemade Heather.
