. Yes, they heard me well. I am very crazy about lemon cake and you are going to love it. If you love

chocolate

. I'm going to make a disclaimer: it's super yummy but it's so good that the ingredients are pretty simple. I find it that way too. You are going to make a homemade base, yes, you will need a springform pan, as you see, I bought it at Walmart for a super cheap price.

You will also need some parchment paper to place on the bottom so it doesn't stick. It will be easy to get it out so for the crust you will need 1 and 3/4 cups of sifted almond flour three tablespoons of cocoa powder three tablespoons of monk fruit sweetener I really liked that LeConte brand Oh Orlick brand han toh you can buy that in Amazon or you can get it at Whole Foods a third of a cup of melted butter and a teaspoon of vanilla extract which is for the crust for the filling you will need 8 ounces of chocolate.

I'm using Lily's baking chocolate. chips, but you can definitely use 90 percent cocoa dark chocolate bars if you want and just melt 24 ounces of cream cheese, which is three packages of cream cheese 1 in 1/4 cup powdered sweetener, so I'll use swerve without However, if you already have granular erythritol, you can put it like a coffee grinder or a bullet and you can grind it and it will be your powdered sweetener if you don't have it on hand and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, that's it. You need the ingredients most of us

keto

genics already have this on hand and this is so good.

Everyone will love it, try it, try it, you won't be disappointed, let's get into this recipe, so the first one. What I did was take some parchment paper and cut it into a circle to fit my springform pan. This will prevent the crust from sticking to the bottom of your springform pan and you will be able to cut and serve it more easily, so now we are going to take our almond flour and we are going to put it in the strainer. I got these at Dollar Tree you can get them anywhere but I recommend that you sift your almond flour so one in 3/4 cup of almond flour is what you'll get 15 in there and then I'll also use the same sifter and sift my cocoa powder, I don't know about you all, but just like almond flour, as you see here, my cocoa powder gets very lumpy, especially if it gets to the bottom of the barrel with the can and the packet, so I like to keep Go ahead and sift my cocoa powder too. of cocoa powder.

I'm using the big value here and I'm showing everyone that the macros are pretty good, so it's 1 net carb. I think it's set for one tablespoon and we're actually going to go in here with 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, that's really going to give it a big boost of chocolate flavor along with the chocolate that we're going to melt for the filling, but this is for the crust, but guys, this crust I'll tell everyone it's so good. It tastes like regular chocolate bark for any pie or

cheesecake

. I was surprised. I thought it was going to be bad.

It's a surprise how good it was. Now I'm also going to take my sweetener and this is the golden monk fruit sweetener. I don't think there's really a difference between the two, I just like to have the brown one on hand for other recipes so you can use regular monk fruit if you don't have the golden one, that's just what I had on hand so three tablespoons They are from a monk. Fruit sweetener, whisking well to make sure all those ingredients are incorporated, that's what it should look like. Now I'm going to melt my butter, which is 1/3 cup of butter, and then I'm going to add my teaspoon of vanilla extract into that butter and then we're going to add it to our crumbs if you want and we're going to take a spatula and we're going to mix this together very okay, it will be very thick, but if you want to make sure that you don't see dry butter, squirrel moment, so you have to make sure that it doesn't look too dry, you have to make sure that it looks all covered in that buttery goodness, as you will see , that's the difference. from start to finish, what it should look like, it's all coated, everything has some kind of butter mixed in there and then we're going to put this in our springform pan, sorry, otherwise I have this in my springform pan, I'm using my spatula. at first you can see I'm struggling with it and I can't remember where I saw this from someone on something use the back of a measuring cup so I'll grab a measuring cup in just a second because y'all It worked a lot better size you see I I'm pressing down it just made the crust nice and there wasn't even any unevenness here it just worked and as you can see I'm working I'm very meticulous when it comes to baking I like to take my time it's a science it's an art and it's very therapeutic for me I have to say so I'm taking my time to make sure everything looks like it's embedded it looks like it's going down and let's go put this in the refrigerator while we make the filling now we'll take our chocolate and again I'm using Lily's baking chocolate.

I'm sure I need macros, that's how cool the macros are on this and for Lily's chocolate. I need 8 ounces of Lily's chocolate or any type of keto chocolate. I don't have an official double boiler so what I do is take some water in a pot, bring it to a boil and put a glass bowl on top and you can definitely melt the chocolate that way. I recommend you do it that way instead of doing it in the microwave because you can do it for a long time and it won't melt and will actually dry out the waste. your money and look good so the chocolate melts now we're going to use our softened cream cheese Philly has the best carb macros don't understand the off brand definitely better I'll take it all three of my cream cheese blocks and I'm going to take my hand mixer, you can also use a stand mixer and I'm going to give it a good beating until it's nice and fluffy, then we're going to move on to our erythritol powder remember you can make it yourself and that's 1 in 1/4 cup of powdered erythritol which stinks really good, so I have all that there.

I'm going to grab my hand blender again and blend it until it's all incorporated. Then I'm going to add a little bit of pure vanilla extract. This is a teaspoon. You could put it here and just mix it with a spatula, but I put it here and then I went ahead and went in with my chocolate that was. melted at the same time and just mix them both together and I'm also mixing this with the hand mixer because you want it to be super incorporated with that cream cheese, you don't want it to be just cream cheese with no chocolate left.

Your cheesecake wouldn't look good behind that. Also make sure you reach out and look at me. I'm trying to get every ounce of chocolate out of that bowl like I'm not messing around here we have with this cheesecake. so grab every bit of chocolate you can and go ahead and mix it well to make sure all that chocolate and vanilla is fully incorporated so if you want you can sit down with the bowl and eat all the big chocolate fluff because that It is a bomb in itself. Just saying, but no, we're going to be good, we're going to take our slice of cheesecake, our filling and put it on top of our crust, that's it.

I have been chilling in the refrigerator and we are going to put it in there completely again and again, as I said before, I am very meticulous when it comes to baking and as you will see, I will live my best keto baking life. here and stretching this out for what seems like an eternity as you watch it, so I apologize for that, but we want to make sure that everything is nice and smooth and creamy and that there's not a high side and a low side. What I'm saying is yeah, smooth it all out, make it look pretty and then we'll cover this bad boy so you guys have to try it and it'll get the nod so I'm not sponsored by I'm glad I did it.

I wish it were, but this press seal that I've been using forever and is a blast, is definitely better than saran wrap. Go get yourself something if you've never tried it and it will change your life, so put a gift stamp on it and you can I'm going to put this in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least two hours. I let my mind cool overnight before I took it out of the springform pan right here, if you guys want, you can take this off the bottom since we have the parchment paper there and serve it on a nice plate instead of just on your you know, shitty springform mold umm.

I know I don't really like the bottom of springform pans either, so if you want to serve it on a plate with ice, you have that. option since we used parchment paper so here is the final product guys this is what the cheesecake looks like and I even lived my best life a couple of nights and added some strawberries on top or some whipped cream it's delicious , I will say. I'll have the macros below. I don't have them in front of me right now, but they will be in the description box. That's four servings for 12. I would make mine even smaller though, so these servings you are Seeing as these images are half the size of a serving with the macros below, just FYI, you don't need a piece Complete with the macros listed below, it is so delicious that this small portion will definitely hook you in and win you over.

You don't have to worry about so many net carbs if you eat it this way, it's definitely satisfying, this chocolate flavor is overwhelming, it's so good and everyone will love it, it's so creamy, so velvety, and it will definitely give you your cheesecake with chocolate. fix it if you've been missing out on keto, so give this video a thumbs up.
