Dr Jockers Comments:
This cheesecake tastes amazing! If you are looking for a low carb dessert than make your own crust and go all out with this one!
The only dairy that I recommend is grass-fed and organic. This is important so as to avoid inflammatory omega 6 fats, chemical toxins in the feed and to get the most anti-inflammatory nutrient content from your dairy. So look for grass-fed organic cream cheese if possible.
Stevia is our favorite sweetener as it is one hundred times sweeter than sugar and has no effect on our blood sugar. If you don’t care for the taste of stevia, adding in the dash of salt really helps to take out the slight bitterness and balances the flavor very well.

Do you recommend liquid or powder Stevia?
Either is fine! Just make sure there are no added ingredients!
I personally use only the liquid Stevia because the packets and bulk Stevia all have maltodextrin that is 4 calories of starch per packet and weight equivalent.
Yes definitely want to avoid that stuff Judith!
I can’t wait to make this. However, I hate Stevia…I’ll use Xylitol instead.
Enjoy Cynjay!
what about coconut sugar?
For the 11/2 tsp stevia could you use lakanto monk fruit sweetener and if so how much? Thanks in advance!
You can definitely use that Claudia. My best recommendation is to try it with an equal amount and see how it goes. Then you can gauge what the right alternative amount is and adjust from there!
My carb count for the recipe was higher than yours. I’m really puzzled how yours was 8 total carbs, but mine was 18!
I am not sure, did you subtract fiber?
Total carbs was 18g, with 3.5g of fiber.
I use myfitnesspal for tracking so I added your cheesecake recipe to my diary. I may need to redo the calculations by hand, because I just noticed that the nutrition facts for 1 serving seem off.
It says 296 calories with 27g fat, 18g carbs and 8g of protein. However, if you do the math that comes out to 347 calories!!
I would have to substitute the organic cream cheese.. I can use any goat or sheep cheese , what t would you suggest that would taste good?
I use Erythritol as a sugar substitute it’s really good, I didn’t like stevia either
Hi Gloria, Yes those can be used as substitutions.
Is there any substitute for the dairy part?
Hi Camilla, You can use almond cream cheese from Kite Hill: https://www.kite-hill.com/
I’ve used Daiya DF cream cheese in several recipes and always have good results. I’m going to try this recipe with egg substitute since I can’t have wheat, eggs or dairy.
Sounds great! Let us know how it goes!
Dr Jockers I am using a recipe of the coffee but adding one fourth tea spoon of turmeric is this ok
Yes it is!
Cheesecake is, of course, delicious. But, I find that if I avoid ALL sweet stuff (including fruit and sweet vegetables like pumpkin) for 2 weeks or so, I no longer miss sweet things. I think that’s probably a good thing. I don’t have to decide between stevia and the other possibilities.
Great job Linda!!
Haven’t seen a response re: substituting with coconut sugar. Is it ok or not?
You can do that but it will be much higher in sugar and impact your blood sugar and insulin levels.
Looking forward to trying this! Are you a fan of monk fruit? It seems like the perfect sweetener. I haven’t tried it yet.
Re. monk fruit sweeteners, they are 95% or more just erythritol. I have some real monk fruit, a tiny vial for over $20. You only use less than 1/8th tsp. for a small recipe of dessert. It is very sweet. I think erythritol is a chemical, is it not? It doesn’t seem like a whole food to me, so I don’t use anything that is not a whole food, or whole fat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythritol
Erythritol is an organic compound that occurs naturally in some fruit and fermented foods. It’s NOT an artificial sweetener. Like anything in life and nature, moderation is the key 🙂
I would love to share this recipe on our company wellness newsletter, citing the source of course. Is that allowed?
Fabulous recipe thank you so much. I feel it may be good for my granddaughter who has ADHD and a sweet tooth which don’t go together well.
