Sugar-Free Strawberry Cheesecake

Crust
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup Splenda granulated sweetener

- 2 tbsp strawberries – slices
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175°C)
- In a small mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener and softened butter.
- With a fork, mix until it forms a loose crumble.
- Spread crumbs into the bottom of a 6 inch springform pan.
- Pat down with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in center of the oven for 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden.
- let cool.
Filling
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Add liquid stevia and beat another minute or two.
- Add 1/3 of the tub of cool whip and mix with mixer on low speed for about 2 minutes. (be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl)
- Fold in the remainder of the cool whip and mix with a spoon or rubber spatula. (Do not over mix-keep it fluffy)
- Divide the mixture in half.
- Spread half of the mixture over the crust and smooth out the top.
- Chill.

- Pour the cooled jelly mixture over the chilled bottom layer and return to the refrigerator.

Helpful Information
Using Frozen Strawberries
If you are unable or just don’t have fresh strawberries, it is certainly ok to use frozen strawberries, that have been thawed in our Sugar-free Strawberry Cheesecake. If you want to freeze your strawberries, this is easily accomplished in 3 easy steps.
If using frozen strawberries, drain them well, before using. If they are not drained, it can cause your filling to become watery.
Using Graham Crumbs instead of Almond flour
Almond flour significantly reduces the carbohydrates in any recipe where they are used in place of other flour or graham crumbs.
I realize that some prefer the taste of graham crumbs, which is understandable.
Our nutritional value for the sugar-free strawberry cheesecake is based on using Almond flour. Keep that in mind when substituting it with graham cracker crumbs, as it will increase the carbs per serving.
Using Strawberry jam instead of the filling
I do not recommend that you substitute any other jams or jelly in the filling, especially if it is not a sugar-free strawberry jam. The Walden Farms fruit spread is zero-calorie, zero-carb, and zero-sugar, which is an important part of this recipe.
This recipe uses 1/3 of a cup of Walden Farms fruit spread and the equivalent in a store-bought strawberry jam is approximately 65-70 grams of carbs and 260 calories.
Altering by adding non-sugar-free strawberry jam creates a dessert that is not diabetic-friendly.
Smuckers does a decent job with their sugar-free jams. Smucker’s Sugar-free Strawberry jam is much lower in calories and carbs than regular jam, but it is not zero, like the Walden Farms version of fruit spread.
Is this recipe Keto-friendly?
Yes, it is. As long as you don’t substitute the ingredients in our recipe for other ingredients, the sugar-free strawberry cheesecake is keto-friendly.
Can I make this recipe in a bigger springform pan?
Yes, you can make this in a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan. Double the amount of ingredients and follow the same steps in the recipe.
Cut the larger cheesecake into twice as many slices. I make mine frequently in a 10-inch springform pan, and I cut it into 12 slices. This will ensure that your nutritional value remains the same.
Storing Instructions
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. An airtight cake container is ideal.
Freezing is not recommended.
