Low Carb Chocolate Cheesecake Dream

You know, many of the low carb cheesecakes I see have a crust. Albeit low carb crust, it still adds
carbs that, to me, are unnecessary. So with the vast pool of similar recipes out there - if you are looking for one that is a crustless, quick, no fuss, confectionary dream - then this is for YOU.

*note - I always post the recipe with the ingredients I used specifically. Feel free to use whatever substitutions you deem necessary. Just don't come crying to me if they don't work out for whatever reason!

Low-Carb Chocolate Cheesecake Dream

  • 3  packages organic Neufchatel Cheese or regular cream cheese
  • 1/2 Cup organic heavy whipping Cream
  • 2 large organic brown Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon fresh Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure Vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup Swerve or other sweetener (if you like it sweeter use more to taste)
  • 2 heaping Tablespoons organic Cacao Powder

Chocolate Dream Sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons Organic Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons organic Cacao Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Swerve or other sweetener
 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a pie plate with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix cacao powder and heavy cream together until smooth. In your mixer bowl, add ROOM TEMPERATURE cream cheese packets, sweetener, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla and beat on medium high for 45 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl and mix again briefly. Add cacao powder/cream mixture and beat again until thoroughly mixed. Pour into pie plate and bake for 30-35 minutes or until top is puffed up and beginning to brown.
 
 


 
 
 
Remove from oven and cool on wire wrack for 1/2 hour. Place in the refrigerator to chill. While the cake is baking, make Chocolate dream sauce using above recipe in a small saucepan over low heat until sweetener is dissolved and mixture is smooth. Pour into a small glass jar or other storage containment unit.





Cut up a slice and serve upside down with a drizzle of the chocolate sauce on top and garnish with a bit of whipped cream. Prepare to indulge in decadence that'll make you wanna smack yo' mamma!


Namaste~
