INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION:

GELATIN:

• Without baking the cheesecake, it helps to set properly. If you want a plant-based substitution, use agar-agar instead.

ERYTHRITOL:

• Erythritol sweetener has no carbs. We can also use monk fruit to maintain a keto diet.

CREAM CHEESE:

• It helps to provide a smooth and thick filling to the yogurt cheesecake. It is optional for high-fat foods to remain a dessert on the keto diet.

COCONUT OIL:

• It remains solid at neutral temperature. Make sure the crust sets correctly. If the butter is not vegan, you can use it as an alternative.

GREEK YOGURT:

• If you want to add a rich flavor to the yogurt cheesecake, you can use high-fat coconut yogurt (unsweetened). The cheesecake contains a silky texture while maintaining low carbs.

COCONUT(SHREDDED):

• The use of shredded coconut delivers a creamy flavor and texture. Sugar-free coconut contains less sugar.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• It is a keto-friendly and low-carb flour that provides a nutty flavor and helps to set the crust without regular flour.
