Low Carb Cheesecake

INGREDIENTS
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/2 c. splenda
  • 8 oz. (strawberry) cool whip
  • 1/4 C Butter
  • 1/3 C Brown sugar twin granular (or splenda brown sugar)
  • 1 C Almond flour (from a natural food store)
  • 1/2 C Walnuts, finely chopped
DIRECTIONS

Cream (not melt) butter with brown sugar twin in a small bowl. Add almond flour and walnuts. Mix together. Mixture will be crumbly.

Press mixture into the bottom of a round cheesecake baking pan. I use a springboard pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Do not burn!

Soften cream cheese. Mix with cool whip and splenda. Add to pan with crust after it cools slightly. Refrigerate for 3 hours.

Makes 4 servings. 4 carbs per serving. Optional to serve with strawberries cut up and mixed into the cool whip mixture.
