Why Strawberries and Cream Cheese Work in Keto Desserts

Strawberries are a wonderful addition to a keto diet because, in moderation, most berries are a great keto choice. One cup of strawberries contains approximately 7-8 net grams of carbs. For comparison, one cup of blackberries contains about 6 net grams of carbs and one cup of raspberries contains about 7 net grams of carbs. Blueberries are quite a bit higher, with one cup coming in at approximately 17-18 net grams of carbs. Strawberries are low in calories but are rich in nutrients! They provide us with a source of folate, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and vitamins A and C. They also contain fiber. Raw strawberries are delicious eaten just as they are. They can also be added to desserts, dressings, salads, and smoothies.

Cream cheese brings amazing flavor and creaminess to desserts. For best results, you’ll want to make sure your cream cheese is softened before using.

Tips for the Perfect Keto Strawberry Cheesecake

• Use room temperature cream cheese. Whenever you are making any kind of cheesecake, you will always have better luck when using room temperature cream cheese.
• Don’t overbake the cheesecake. Cooking the cheesecake too long will leave it dried out and not very tasty. The best way to tell if the cheesecake is done is to jiggle the pan.
• Don’t open the oven too much. The quick changes in temperature can cause the cheesecake to crack. Wait until the timer beeps, do one jiggle test, and then let the cheesecake rest.
• Make sure to give the cheesecake enough time to chill in the fridge before serving.

Variations

• Blueberries - Swap in blueberries.
• Melted Chocolate - Drizzle some melted sugar-free chocolate on top of the cheesecake after baking. The chocolate is the perfect compliment with the fresh berries and creaminess.
• Lemon - Add a layer of lemon curd on top of the cheesecake before garnishing for an amazing Strawberry Lemon Cheesecake.
