Keto Dessert and Keto Treats to Eat on Easter

Keto Dessert and Keto Treats to Eat on Easter

EASTER IS COMING UP AND WE WANT YOU TO CELEBRATE YOUR HOLIDAY WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY OR WORRYING ABOUT WHAT TO EAT. 

We all know that this time of year involves a lot of food and we tend to overeat. As we gather together there is no shortage of temptation around the table which makes it hard for us to stick to a diet plan.

However, for those who are following our Keto plan, you have to realise how you are feeling now versus how you felt before you started. We do not want you to lose progress but we also don’t want to restrict you either.

The main objective of Keto Lean is to encourage you to live the life you love, and our main goal is to help you achieve your desired weight in order to feel better with your body—healthier and happier. We focus not only on the outside but on the inside too.

Therefore, our team has put together these amazing recipes especially for you, to fully enjoy your Easter without gaining weight or feeling guilty after having eaten a few yummy treats.

KETO VANILLA CHEESECAKE

If you are looking for a Keto treat or a Keto dessert to share with the rest of the family this is a good option for you. Low Carb, high protein and sugar-free cheesecake.

INGREDIENTS

Almond Flour Cheesecake Crust

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour.
  • 1/3 cup butter (measured solid, then melted).
  • 3 tbsp erythritol (granular or powdered works fine).
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Keto Cheesecake Filling

  • 32 oz cream cheese (softened) or vegan cream cheese.
  • 30 g (1 scoop) KetoLean protein powder, chocolate.
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (erythritol must be powdered).
  • 3 large eggs or egg replacer.
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Follow these steps:

  1. Preheat oven at 180°C (350°F).
  2. Use a 23cm rounded mould. Grease or line the bottom with baking paper.

To make the crust:

  1. Stir the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract, until well combined.

The dough will be slightly crumbly. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes.

To make the top:

  1. Beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  2. Finally, beat in the lemon juice, protein powder andvanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don’t want.)
  3. Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake for about 45-55 minutes until the middle is almost set, but still jiggly.
  5. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not remove the cake from the pan before chilling.)
  6. Serve with Keto sauce of your choice.
