Low Carb Cheesecake Bites (Gluten Free/No Sugar Added)


During prep for a competition I really have to get creative on low carb days. I rarely crave sweets but when I do I want them now. I came up with these tasty little bites in desperation to kill my sweet tooth.

Approximate Macros:
Only 4 Net Carbs
6g Protein
9g Fat

Ingredients
CRUST
-2 tsp Ghee, Melted
-2 tbsp Almond Meal/Flour
-1 tbsp Coconut Flour
-1 tbsp Ground Flax Seed
-Pinch of Salt

CHEESECAKE
-1/4 c Ricotta
-1/4 c Vanilla Muscle Egg Liquid Egg Whites
-1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
-1 tsp Pure Lemon Extract
-1/2 tsp Cream of Tartar
-1/2 tsp Unflavored Gelatin

Directions
Mix melted butter with almond flour, coconut flour and ground flax seed. Spoon mixture into 3 silicon baking cups. Press firmly into the bottom.
In another bowl, beat the cheesecake ingredients until smooth. Pour batter into each cup until it is gone.
Bake at 350 degrees until cheesecake is firm in the middle and turning slightly brown on top. Chill overnight then remove from baking cups.

Optional: You can top with fruit or even Walden Farms Caramel Sauce. You can even add in chocolate chips if you want more carbs.

Hope you enjoy!!
