 Strawberry season has got to be one of the best things about spring and summer. This Low Carb Strawberries and Cream Cheesecake is rich, dreamy and perfect for summer.

It’s completely no bake and sugar free. I love that there’s no water bath to worry about and that there’s less chance of the cheesecake drying out from over-baking.

HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM CHEESECAKE:

1. You’re going to start off by making the gluten free almond flour crust.
2. Next, you’re going to make the cheesecake layer by blending together pureed strawberries, erythritol, cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla and lemon juice.
3. Once the filling is combined together, pour over the prepared crust.
4. Cover and chill the cheesecake in the fridge. Since the cheesecake contains no gelatin, it’s imperative to allow the cheesecake to firm up for at least 5 hours or overnight.
5. Decorate with fresh strawberry slices on the sides and on top, if desired.

Substitutions for this Low Carb Strawberries and Cream Cheesecake:

The basic low carb cheesecake crust requires just a FIVE ingredients – almond flour, erythritol, butter, vanilla extract and sea salt.

• Use any other nut flour if preferred.
• Coconut flour can be used but you will have to adjust the ratios.
• Swap the butter out for coconut oil instead.

You’re going to want to make this delicious cheesecake every chance you can all summer long. Or make it for any special occasion like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any other summer picnics and parties. And since it’s no bake, that means you won’t have to turn on your oven on a hot day.
