Low Carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Ingredients for Crust:

• 1 cup of almond flour (my favorite brand)
• 1 tbsp. of Swerve Sweetener
• 1/4 cup of melted butter

Ingredients for Filling:

• 8 oz. package of whipped cream cheese
• 3/4 cup of Swerve sweetener
• 3/4 cup whipped peanut butter
• 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup of stevia sweetened Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips

Topping:

• 1/2 cup of Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips
• Monin Gourmet SUGAR FREE Dark Chocolate Sauce

Directions:

Combine crust ingredients (almond flour, sweetener, butter) in a mixing bowl and mix well. Mixture will be crumbly.

Press crust down into a lightly greased (I use an olive oil spray) 8X8 baking dish.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 7-10 minutes or until crust is slightly brown. Set aside and let cool.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix filling ingredients (cream cheese, sweetener, peanut butter) with an electric mixer until blended. Add the whipping cream and whip until mixture is creamy and fluffy and a peak forms.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Spread mixture onto cooled crust evenly.

Refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

Sprinkle with leftover chocolate chips and drizzle the chocolate sauce on top before serving!
