I started my 30 day Keto Diet this week. I am following the plan from the new Keto Diet book by Dr. Axe. A few years ago I did a lean and green diet which is a very strict Keto. I felt deprived the whole time. Under the Dr. Axe plan I can have berries and full fat yogurt, cheese, kefir, sour cream and cream cheese. With this diet there are no carbs. So no sugar, no grains, no potatoes and not starchy veggies/ The Dr. Axe book has 80 recipes including desserts. I did not expect to be able to eat desserts.
After the 30 days I will probably do Keto cycling for a bit where I will go on for 3 days and go off for a few days. With food like this cheesecake it is easy to follow the plan.
Keto Cheesecake
Crust
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 tablespoon stevia
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon stevia
1/2 cup coconut cream
2 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Berries for topping ( I used both fresh blueberries and thawed frozen raspberries shown here)
Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a small bowl, mix together the crust ingredients. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch spring form plan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Reduce the oven temperature to 300 F.
To make the filling, in a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese and stevia. Slowly add the coconut cream until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs, one at a time, while whisking. Add the lemon zest. Pour the cheese mixture on top of the crust in the spring form pan. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Cool in the refrigerator overnight. Do not remove the cake until it has chilled. Serve topped with berries.
10 to 12 servings
