Making a great cheesecake is a task, reserved only for the most devoted fans of this creamy and irresistible dessert. It typically involves several types of cheese, gelatine, lots of sugar and time spent wondering whether it will work out or not 😃 Not to worry, we’ve assembled a pretty easy to follow no-bake keto ricotta pecan cheesecake recipe that doesn’t involve a single gram of added sugar. Suitable if you’re on keto, low-carb or just generally looking to eat healthier.
We’ll be using gelatin, which is a great way to boost skin, joint, bone and gut health. Similarly to collagen (gelatin is basically heat-treated collagen), it’s something most people don’t get enough of, especially women, who don’t particularly enjoy eating fatty meat. And what better way to up your collagen intake, than digging into a soft, creamy piece of keto cheesecake?
