INGREDIENTS NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:
- We have to use softened, full-fat cream cheese for the finest flavor and creamiest texture. We don’t have to utilize the low-fat cream cheese as it may change the consistency and the taste.
HEAVY CREAM:
- We have to use the full-fat heavy cream to get the rich, airy texture that resembles classic cheesecake. We have to whip the heavy cream separately to make it light and airy and then fold it with the cream cheese.
POWDER SWEETENER:
- We have to use the powder form of any keto-friendly sweeteners like Erythritol, Allulose, monk fruit, or stevia or we can also use its combination and adjust the quantity of sweetener as we like.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- Vanilla extract enhances the pudding’s flavor by adding a warm, fragrant sweetness.
LEMON JUICE AND ZEST:
- Lemon juice or zest balances the richness and adds a delicate acidic taste that resembles traditional cheesecake.
OPTIONAL TOPPING:
- We can top this cheesecake with whipped cream, crushed keto nuts, or fresh berries which makes the pudding more tasty and flavorful.
