Keto or Carnivore Cheesecake Recipe

One of my favorite desserts that I enjoy the most is Cheesecake.  I love the creamy custardy filling, the crust and savoring every single bite but...

For those of us who choose to eat a low carb diet you probably miss these types of desserts and it can be very difficult to manage those cravings for sweets.  But did you know that one of the low carb foods you can have is Cream Cheese?    You can still eat that cheesecake with just a few adjustments.    

This Cheesecake also has two versions.  If you are Keto and can eat Artificial Sweeteners and Almonds you will love this version.  If you are Carnivore and only eat Animal products...well I have a version for that too.

Some Tips for Keto/Carnivore Cheesecake:

💖You will need to soften your Cream Cheese.  I take the cheese out of the package and leave it out on the counter to soften.  It usually takes about half an hour or so.  If it isn't that soft after 30 minutes I place it in my stand mixer or you can use a hand mixer.  I will put the heavy cream in it and mix the two together until smooth.  Then add the rest of your ingredients as written.

💖One other item I put in my Cheesecake is Sugar-Free White Chocolate Chips.  This is optional but I wanted to let you know that if you do add them I suggest sprinkling them on top of the cake before you bake it.  I have found that when adding them in the batter the chips tend to sink to the bottom instead of suspending within the filling.

If you are anything like me you benefit from watching a Video on how to make things so I have a Video below that you can watch on how to make this Cheesecake.  

If you prefer to follow the written Recipe you can find in under the Video.  I hope you enjoy this Recipe.  Please leave your comments and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.  

Enjoy!

How to Sew a Potholder and Hot pad

One of the things I enjoy the most is Sewing for my Home.  Sure, you can buy Potholders and Hot Pads at the store for a fair price but it is so much more enjoyable and affordable to just sew them yourself and you can customize them. You can make them any theme you want or any color.  You can also be as creative as you like.  This is more enticing to me than a trip to the store to buy them.  

These Potholders are made from some scrap fabric I have collected so that is another thing I love about sewing these myself.  They are a great scrap buster!

They are easy to make and are a quick gift alternative in a pinch.  They would make a great gift for a Wedding Shower along with your other gifts.  

I think about making Potholders this time of year because I like to decorate my home for the Fall/Autumn season.  I can hang them up and display them or lay them on the Counter.  However you choose to show them off you will love this video tutorial on how to make a potholder.  So gather up those scraps and have some creative fun!
