INGREDIENTS:
RED VELVET BASE:

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- One big egg
CHEESECAKE FILLING:
- One teaspoon of lemon juice
- Cream cheese, 16 oz
- Two big eggs
- 3/4 cup erythritol powder
- Vanilla extract, one tsp
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
STRAWBERRY TOPPING:
- One tbsp. chia seeds
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- Two tbsp. erythritol powder
INGREDIENT NOTES:
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder smoothly sweetens this cheesecake. We can swap this powder with stevia, allulose, or monk fruit sweetener for a similar taste.
STRAWBERRIES:
- Strawberries are used for topping and provide a natural taste. You can alter it with blackberries or raspberries, both of which are also good for keto.
COCOA POWDER:
- Cocoa powder delivers a rich taste and flavor like chocolate. We can substitute it with the carob powder, which also give a same flavor.
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream delivers high-fat content and creates a creamy texture. You can utilize the coconut cream as a replacement for a dairy-free variety.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This flour creates a smooth structure & it is used to make a base. I use coconut flour instead, but in smaller quantities, as it is a perfect absorber of water content.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese helps to make a dense filling and forms a smooth texture. Alternatively, you can utilize the high-fat non-dairy cream cheese.
