INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour helps to add a nutty or low-carb base to the dessert. Use the fine variety to get a smooth, consistent texture. It bakes lightly in the refrigerator, resulting in a hard but sensitive foundation.
BUTTER:
- Butter binds the almond flour crust, and it adds a rich taste to it. Unsalted butter provides more control over sodium levels. Melting it first enables a uniform distribution with the flour.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese lends the cheesecake its creamy, tangy flavor. Full-fat cream cheese is good for a keto diet and adds a rich taste. Making it soft slightly before mixing helps to avoid lumps.
HEAVY CREAM:
- It becomes lighter when you beat the cheesecake mixture with heavy cream. Cold cream whips better and retains its shape. It creates a fluffy, rich texture in desserts.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol is a sweetener that does not break this diet. It combines well with creamy recipes. Add the quantity of Erythritol as you like.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract improves all of the flavors in the cheesecake. Its aroma balances the flavor of strawberry and chocolate. Small amount of extract is enough to provide the aroma & flavor.
KETO COCOA POWDER:
- Cocoa powder imparts a rich chocolate taste in the cheesecake layer. Keto cocoa powder reduces carbs. It blends nicely into the cheesecake without affecting its texture.
STRAWBERRIES:
- Fresh strawberries provide sweetness & color naturally. Make thin slices to achieve even stacking. They offset the cheesecake’s richness with a fresh, fruity flavor.
