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!
