COCONUT CREAM CHEESECAKE RECIPE – GLUTEN FREE

Cheesecake is one of the most popular low carb high fat desserts. We love this yummy gluten free coconut cream cheesecake recipe. It’s a great way to fill up on fat!

Cream cheese is by far one of my favorite low carb ingredients. It goes well in both sweet and savory recipes. Adding cream cheese really hides the unpleasant taste of powdered low carb sweeteners that contain erythritol.

This low carb coconut cream cheesecake is very filling so you’ll want to keep the servings fairly small. I had a slice for breakfast and wasn’t hungry until lunch time !
