KETO CHEESECAKE RECIPE (LOW CARB SUGAR-FREE CHEESECAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
• To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly.
• Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.)
• Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use an icing spatula for a smoother top if you have one). If you want to ensure no air bubbles, tap the pan on the counter several times.
• Bake for about 40-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don't remove the springform edge yet). Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.)

CRUMB-NUT CHEESECAKE CRUST

Steps:

• Chop nuts very finely in food grinder or food processor (or put in a plastic zipper storage bag and roll over with a rolling pin to crush nuts.) Should have 1 cup of ground nuts.
• Cookies should also be chopped very finely.
• Combine crumbs, chopped nuts and sugar, and mix thoroughly; drizzle with melted butter and mix lightly.
• Press onto bottom and 1 1/2 inches up side of springform pan.
• Proceed with your favorite cheesecake recipe.
• Note 1: Requires about 25 vanilla wafers to make 3/4 cups crumbs.
• Note 2: Any type of dry, unfilled, unfrosted cookies may be used instead of vanilla wafers.

PASTRY CHEESECAKE CRUST

Steps:

• Mix butter, egg, flour and salt well but lightly, until dough forms.
• Spread dough on bottom and 1 1/2 inches up side of 9-inch springform pan.
• Bake at 450 deg F for 5 minutes.
• Cool and fill.

LOW CARB CHEESECAKE WITH ALMOND CRUST

Steps:

• Almond Crust:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Mix the almond flour, butter and sugar substitute in a bowl. Spray 8x8 square pan (or pie plate) with cooking spray, and press this mixture evenly into the pan.
• Place this crust in a preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden browned and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan. Remove the crust from the oven, and let it cool while you make the filling.
• Cheesecake Filling:.
• Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water, stirring for 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool and slightly thickened (20-30 minutes).
• Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the Jello to the cream cheese, and mix really well. Add Cool Whip 1/2 cup at a time until well blended. Add the sugar substitute until blended. Spread the mixture in the pan or pie plate and chill for a couple of hours.
• This recipe is very versatile. Use different jello flavour or add more or less sugar substitute or use juice instead of water or fold fresh or canned fruit into the cheesecake filling.

ALMOND PIE CRUST

Steps:

• Bake for 15 minutes in oven at 350 degrees.
• Let cool.
• Pour in filling or use in place of graham cracker crusts.

LOW CARB KEY LIME PIE WITH LOW CARB CRUST!

Steps:

• Start with the crust.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a food processor add the cup of raw almonds, pulse until it is the size of sand granules (not too fine!).
• Add in the 2 packets of Splenda and the 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
• Pulse until it is well mixed and a workable paste.
• Spray a small, square baking dish (I actually prefer a metal pan as it has the tendency to crisp the nuts better) with cooking spray and with a spatula, add in the mixture and pat until evenly spread.
• Put in oven for 10-12 minutes; broil on top for another 1-2 minutes. Be careful that it doesn't burn; it should be a toasted brown.
• Once done, take out of oven and put in the freezer.
• For the filling:.
• In a food processor, add 1/2 package of lime Jell-O; follow the directions on the box and then pulse in the food processor until well mixed.
• Add in 1 juice of lime as well as some zest from the peel.
• Add in the softened Neufchatel cheese.
• Pulse until well-mixed, should be a thick liquid mixture.
• Add the filling on to your crust and smooth until even.
• I prefer to put it back into the freezer for about 1 hour and then either enjoy as a frozen treat or take it out for a few minutes to soften, but you can also just put it in the fridge for a few hours to set.
• Garnish with sliced lime and sugar-free cool whip and serve!
• (You can also substitute the lime Jell-O for lemon Jell-O for a cheesecake variation or chocolate Jell-O pudding for a chocolate mousse pie--minus the lime, of course).

OAT ALMOND PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine the oats and almonds and grind to a coarse powder.
• Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the flour and mix well.
• Drizzle on the oil and incorporate it with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Sprinkle in enough of the water (mixing it lightly with a fork) to moisten all the flour and make a dough that you can form into a ball.
• Flatten the dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick On a lightly floured board or a sheet of waxed paper, roll the dough into a thin (about 1/8 inch) circle about 11 inches diameter.
• Line a 9-inch pie pan with the dough and trim the edges to leave a 1/2-inch overhang all around.
• Use the overhang to form a fluted edge.
• Place the crust in the freezer for at least 20 minutes.
• Fill the shell and bake it according to the directions of your specific recipe.
• *To bake the crust without a filling; Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Line the prepared pie crust with aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 8 minutes.
• Remove it from the oven and discard the foil.
• Bake for 7 minutes.
• Let the crust cool before filling.
