My Keto Flax Cheesecake is easy to make and does not need cream cheese. A dessert that is sure to make you feel wonderful.
While I was immersed in my kitchen adventures, I remembered that I had a bag of ground flax seeds stored in the wall cabinet. Naturally, the next thought that crossed my mind was, Why not try making a cheesecake with them?
So, with excitement in my heart, I started creating a cheesecake with a little twist—a crust infused with flax seeds.
The result?
The Keto Flax Cheesecake turned out to be a delightful treat. Your taste buds might not have an unearthly experience, but the plethora of healthy proteins it provides makes the slightly bitter aftertaste easily overlooked.
Before I share the recipe with you, I want to mention that I didn’t have any ready-made cream cheese on hand. However, I didn’t let that deter me. Instead, I decided to use a combination of hung curd and fresh cottage cheese as a substitute.
To make the cottage cheese, I took a liter of full cream milk and transformed it into approximately 200 grams of delectable cottage cheese. As for the hung curd, I always make sure to keep some in my fridge.
