The Most Delicious Keto Friendly Cheesecake You Will Ever Eat

I am a big sweets girl. So when it comes to living the Keto lifestyle, that is something I tend to miss out on. I recently stumbled across a cheesecake recipe that was keto approved. With a few adjustments we made it our own. And it is now a go to dessert in our home.

This is what we will be taking with us to parties all throughout the holiday season. This time of year is when I tend to slip up and I refuse to do that this time around.

This cheesecake is sure to curb any sweet-tooth cravings you have. It is so good that your non-keto eating friends and family will love it too (and have no clue it is low carb!).
