Dr Jockers Comments:
This is a great tasting, creative and sugar and grain-free dessert. Loads of good fats and antioxidants in this making it more like a super-food supplement than a tasty dessert.
Coconut oil is one of the best things for your body as it is loaded with medium-chain trigylcerides (MCT’s) that help boost your metabolism and reduce inflammation. Stevia is our best sweetener as it is a naturally growing plant and the extract has no effect on blood sugar and is 100 times sweeter than normal sugar.
It is best to get grass-fed or pasture-raised cream cheese as this is loaded with clean protein, essential fats, enzymes and vitamin K2. For individuals that react with any form of dairy, including grass-fed fermented dairy, coconut cream should work good.

Can I substitute any nut instead of cashews. Not my favorite.
Yes you can Connie!
I wonder why you use Stevia when most of it is processed with toxic chemicals which are not removed before being sold? Can Monkfruit be substituted for Stevia?
Hey Laila, Stevia has many health benefits and remains a great alternative to sugar or artificial sweeteners. I agree that there are many manufacturers that chemically alter their product. As discussed in this article you have to remain well educated when buying stevia just like any other product. Monkfruit however is also a great alternative and natural sweetener!
What is coconut almond butter?
It is a combination of coconut and almond butter. It is delicious. You could just almond butter if you can’t find it. Here is an amazon link https://amzn.to/2UC4bEl
Is there a way of making this recipe dairy free? I don’t like using dairy-free cream cheese alternatives as they are usually either soy or artificial ingredients. I find that cream cheese is often used in keto recipes but dairy is inflammatory and raises your insulin even if it doesn’t raise your blood sugar. Also cream cheese is processed, not raw and natural, although in Canada, sadly, we cannot buy any raw dairy products anyway. Do you have any suggestions for making this dairy free? It looks like a great recipe aside from the cream cheese.
Hey Shandell, I am not sure how to make a cheesecake recipe without dairy or dairy alternatives. Sorry!
Dr. Jockers, what is your opinion of using this sweetener instead of Stevia or Monk Fruit – https://bochasweet.com/? I have recently become aware of it and understand it is low glycemic index. Thanks!
Hello Carol,
Yes it does look like a very good sweetener option.
can i substitute the chia seeds for something else?
Yes you can try flax seeds or hemp seeds instead.
