I've been trying to eat low-carb and cut out sugar. This is a cheesecake I created. It is sugar free and lower fat than traditional cheesecake. I chose a coconut crust over an almond crust. Coconut is less inflammatory than Almond. It is low-carb, sugar-free, and ketogenic. The Coconut and lime mingle very well together. It is absolutely delicious! It doesn't even taste like a sugar-free dessert. It was a huge hit with my family. I am adding this to my List of favorite sugar-free low carb desserts. Enjoy!
