- 2 tbsp low carb sugar (or Swerve Granulated)
- 1/4 tsp salt

- 3/4 cup low carb sugar (or Swerve Granulated)
- 1/2 cup sour cream

- 1/2 tsp stevia glycerite
- 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 drops red food coloring (optional)
- 1/2 cup Sukrin Strawberry Raspberry Jam (or your favorite no added sugar jam)

Directions
Follow these easy instructions to prepare your cheesecake:
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a springform pan by greasing it lightly.
Low Carb Cheesecake Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, ground flax meal, whey protein powder, low carb sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until the crust resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan.
Keto Cheesecake Batter: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the low carb sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and stevia glycerite. Mix until combined, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low.
Procedure: Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. In a small bowl, gently mix the strawberry raspberry jam with a few fresh raspberries. Swirl the mixture into the cheesecake batter.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Serve: Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours. Once set, slice and serve chilled, adorned with additional raspberries or a light dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
