Have you ever found yourself wistfully staring into your refrigerator, looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth without busting your diet? What if you saw a cheesecake staring back at you? Most of us would forget about our diets, grab a fork, and enjoy a slice (or two), followed by a large serving of guilt. What if I told you that you could have your (cheese)cake and eat it too?
Now came the challenge – how could I make a low-carb protein packed cheesecake that still tastes great? It started by using cream cheese as the main ingredient and a sugar substitute for white sugar. Then I added some lemon juice, vanilla and eggs. From these simple ingredients, I was able to create a low-carb, protein-packed crave-worthy, creamy cheesecake.
Best of all, it’s a bonafide Momma Chef recipe. Like all of my Momma Chef creations, it’s quick, easy, and scrumptious — with only five ingredients, you can whip us this cheesecake in under five minutes! Here’s the delicious, satisfying, and SIMPLE recipe to healthy bliss.
- 16 oz. low-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons liquid Keto Sweetner or ⅓ cup sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place eggs in a large bowl and mix on medium speed for 30 seconds.
- Add in room-temperature cream cheese, liquid Nectevia, vanilla extract and lemon juice, blend until smooth.
- Pour mixture into greased pie dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until center is firm to touch.

Can you substitute Splenda granules instead of the Nectevia liquid that I have not seen here? If so how much Splenda?
Cathy,
If you are using the Splenda Sweetener, Granulated, you should use 1/2 cup. Enjoy!
Thank you.
