Is cream cheese ok to eat on a keto diet?

• Unlike most other cheeses, the cream cheese is one of the ingredients that you can use if you follow a keto diet. You will see that there are many keto recipes that are making use of full-fat cream cheese, fat-free, or low-carb cream cheese.
• This doesn’t mean that you can now use any cheese and think that this is a keto recipe. There are still some of the cheeses that are not usable with the keto diet. It is best to make sure that you know exactly what cheese you can consume when you are on this diet.

Which keto sweeteners are best?

The last tip that you should know is what keto sweeteners are the best, with no calories and usually zero carbs. These are some of the keto sweeteners that you can use if you are following the keto diet:

• Stevia – personally, I am not a fan of the after taste.
• Sucralose
• Erythritol
• Xylitol
• Monk Fruit Sweetener
• Swerve – this is a brand name for Erythritol, my personal favorite.

These are the top sweeteners that you can use while on the keto diet. You should try them and find the one sweetener that will be the best and most tasty for you. Just remember that not all the sweeteners are automatically used in the keto diet.

WHAT KIND OF PAN SHOULD I USE TO MAKE THE KETO CHEESECAKE?

We love using a regular 10-inch diameter springform pan. You can use the 8-inch diameter pan as well. However, we love to use a bit larger pan as the cake is a bit bigger, which is perfect for a larger family. Also, the cheesecake looks more festive when it is bigger.

Options for the low carb cheesecake crust

• There are a huge variety of low carb cheesecake crust recipes that you can use. The best flours to use on a keto diet are coconut flour and almond flour. Both are high in fiber and low in carbohydrates, so they are perfect to use in baked goods such as the keto cheesecake crust.
• Similarly, you can just make it without the crust. This will ensure that you are going to consume even fewer carbs.

HOW TO FREEZE THE KETO CHEESECAKE

• First, make sure it has fully cooled and also was refrigerated for at least 6 hours.
• Then, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil, and after with plastic freezer wrap, or place in a heavy-duty freezer bag.
• Similarly, you can also wrap and freeze individual slices.
• Properly stored, it will maintain the best quality for about 2 to 3 months.
• Thaw overnight in the fridge one day before serving.

Recipe Tips:

• Make sure the filling ingredients are of room temperature.
• Do NOT over-beat the batter, always mix just until combined.
• Always use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, it will help to get a smooth batter.
• Also, bake the cheesecake in a PREHEATED oven.
• Use a water bath when baking for the ultimate success. I describe it in detail in this post.
• Do NOT open the oven door when the cake is baking, the sudden temperature drop may make it sink.
• Similarly, do NOT remove it from the oven immediately after baking. Cool it with the oven door slightly open for about 1 hour.
• Got cracks? No problem! Cover them with whipped cream or check this post where I describe in detail how to fix cracks on a cheesecake.
