Low Carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
I’ve been following a low carb lifestyle for eight months now and can report a twenty-six pound weight loss! I’m happy to be committed to living a healthier lifestyle and watching my sugar intake. It was hard to kick the sugar habit, but I have created a recipe that I can enjoy when I’m craving something sweet to eat! I love chocolate, peanut butter, and cheesecake, so this is the perfect combination to enjoy together if you are watching your carbs! If you are looking for a light and fluffy dessert with the perfect amount of sweetness, this is for you!
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!
