ReplyAmazing recipe.
ReplyHaven't tried this yet, but am going to. It looks very scrumptious!!
ReplyHeavenly! I am a chocoholic with heart failure and type 2 diabetes. The Type 2 is controlled with diet only. My carbs are limited to about 30 per day. Cheesecake is much easier to convert than cookies or cake! For the crust, I used 1 3/4 cups of walnuts, pulsed in food processor until large crumbs, added 1/4 cup fine almond flour, 1 Tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol and 1/4 cup melted butter. I substituted powdered monkfruit/erythritol and sugar-free Lily's chocolate chips in the cheesecake bat
ReplyThe cake was delicious. I made it for my son's birthday. The only thing that the family commented and I would change is the topping. Everyone said it was too sweet because of the milk chocolate. So I will replace it with semisweet chocolate. Thanks.
