  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup caramels melted (I used Kraft caramels)
  • Chopped pecans
  • Popsicle sticks

Instructions

  1. Slice apples into 1/2" pieces. With a knife make a little slit in the bottom of each apple slice to make it easier to insert a popsicle stick.
  2. Melt chips in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes.* Stir in coconut oil until smooth. Dip apple slices in chocolate and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.
  3. Place caramels in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 45-60 seconds.* Do NOT overheat. Stir until smooth. Drizzle melted caramel over chocolate and sprinkle with nuts.
  4. Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Serve and enjoy immediately. Apples are best the first day. Store in refrigerator.
  5. *For best results, follow the chocolate chip package instructions for melting chocolate and same for caramel. Follow the caramel package instructions for melting caramels.
  6. Note: If you're concerned about biting into an apple seed, just remove them before dipping the apple slice in chocolate.

Recipes Cookbook - Keto Cheesecake - Low Carb Sugar Free

Keto Cheesecake - Low Carb Sugar Free |#Coffeefrostingrecipe #Coffeedesserts #Cupcakecakes #Coffeeicingrecipe #Coconutflourwafflerecipe #Espressobuttercreamfrosting #Ketofluffdessert #Ketocheesecakefluff #Ketocheesecakenobake #Ketostrawberrycheesecakedelight #Ketosugarfreepuddingrecipes #Ketocreamcheesedessert

Ingredients

    Crust :
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter melted
  • 1/4 Cup Confectioners I used Swerve
  • 1 1/2 Cups Almond flour
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup erythritol I used Monkfruit Sweetener. If non-keto use sugar of choice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, room temp or coconut milk yogurt (for vegan)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, room temp (omit eggs and use another cup of coconut yogurt for substitute for vegan or Greek yogurt for non-vegan )
  • 16 oz or 2 pkgs cream cheese, very softened or vegan cream cheese / can also be made with 3 pkgs or 24 oz of cream cheese of choice for a thicker, denser, creamy cheesecake texture.
  • Fruit Topping: ( or Sugar Free Fruit Filling, store bought )
  • 2-3 tablespoons erythritol I used Monkfruit Sweetener. If non-keto use sugar of choice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 ½ cups berries of choice cleaned and chopped as needed.
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Crust
  2. In a small bowl, add melted butter, almond flour, cinnamon and confectioners sugar together and mash with a fork well to make your crust. Should be dry, yet wet enough to press together in the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan. Place crust in fridge while you make the cheesecake filling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place a pan with water in it half way up on the lowest rack of the oven. Now let’s make the cheesecake filling.
  3. Cheesecake Filling
  4. Using a mixer, mix the very softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, set aside. Using a blender or mixer, add yogurt, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and erythritol together and mix together. Add cream cheese and blend mix until smooth and creamy. (Can also mix in mixer, by adding in the yogurt/eggs mixture slowly to the mixture so it doesn’t get cream cheese chunks. If it does, throw it in the blender to smooth it out. Don’t overbeat cheesecake filling.
  5. Pour filling into the crust and bake on center shelf for 40-50 minutes.
  6. Once time is up, leave cheesecake in oven, but turn off the heat and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Then remove from the oven—it will still look underdone and a little jiggly. Let cool on the counter 20 minutes, then refrigerate overnight for firming up. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator 3-4 days, or slice and freeze if desired.
  7. Fruit Topping
  8. In a saucepan, add the berries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Stir just to combine. Cook the berries over medium low heat for about 10-15 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Remove it from heat and let it cool down. Add to cheesecake when ready to serve.
