Keto Yogurt Cheesecake is a low-carb and creamy dessert. This cheesecake features the combination of cream cheese, Greek yogurt, almond flour, and Erythritol. Avoid using only coconut flour, as we have to make lots of adjustments otherwise the cheese will be dry. It prepares easily with a golden top, which we garnish with almonds, berries, or a honey drizzle.

Prepare the dairy-free version of this cheesecake with coconut cream & yogurt if you are lactose intolerant.
