Grandma´s Small Low Carb Cheesecakes

Having a sweet tooth from time to time, I set myself the challenge to refine my Grandma´s cheesecake recipe to a low carb version. After having baked a lot of bread and cake since starting my KetOntrack journey, I used all the gathered knowledge and was achieving on my third run the desired result.

I like the moist consistency and unobtrusive sweetness of these cheesecakes. Of course, you can add as well fruits, i.e. plums, which will then enlarge the carb profile due to fruit sugar naturally given.
