INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE KETO GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

1. Lightly toast almond flour and (very finely chopped!) pecans in a skillet or pan over medium heat, until fully golden and fragrant (2-4 minutes). This is very important taste-wise, so don't skip!
2. Transfer toasted nuts to a small bowl (or go straight for the serving glass), and mix in Swerve, cinnamon and salt. Add in butter, mix until thoroughly combined, and press into serving glass or dish. Refrigerate while you make the cheesecake. 

FOR THE KETO CHEESECAKE

1. Add sour cream to a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until whipped (2-3 minutes). Set aside. 
2. Add cream cheese and grass-fed butter to a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fully creamed. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice (add a light squeeze to taste), Swerve and beat until just combined. 
3. Fold in whipped sour cream. Pipe or spoon cheesecake mixture into the graham cracker lined glass. Freeze for 30-40 minutes or refrigerate for a couple hours (or overnight). 
4. Optional: Serve with more whipped sour cream (or heavy cream) and a couple of strawberries. 

*Be careful with xylitol around your doggies. It is toxic to them.

Yield: Interesting, the recipe title says for one. Reading the article it says it serves 2. I have not made it, just posting for those of you who want KETO recipes.

Personal note: Because of my own health situations, I do not follow either a gluten-free or Keto program. I do from time to time eat something that falls into one of those categories. Unless advised by a doctor to do so, I do not recommend totally following either program long term.
