12 Simple and Delicious Keto Cheesecake Recipes You Didn’t Know You Need

Probably one of the best things about the ketogenic diet, aside from quick weight loss, is the abundance of low carb desserts out there.

From cookies to cake to ice cream and more, there’s a dessert for everyone to enjoy while still losing weight.

So a keto cheesecake is a no brainer, right? Right.

Since the main ingredient in cheesecake is, in fact, cream cheese, this delicious dessert doesn’t need much tweaking to become low carb.

A simple almond flour crust (or no crust at all) and a sugar-free sweetener are pretty much all you have to change to make a delicious keto cheesecake recipe.
