Cheesecake and type 2 diabetes don't exactly go hand in hand.

Yes, it is very tasty..... but unfortunately not healthy. Thus you have to look for something else to satisfy that need for a nice piece of cake.
Fortunately, we have a delicious recipe for a sugar-free cheesecake that is not only healthy but also very tasty.

How to make the crust:
What makes the bottom of this low-carb cheesecake so healthy is that it is made from almond flour. And there is no healthier flour (except coconut flour) which is as healthy as almond flour.
The structure of the crust may be slightly different from what you are used to...
...but it is also much healthier than you are used to. And quite easy to make if you ask us.

How to make the filling of the sugar-free cheesecake:
The filling of this low-carb cheesecake contains no sugar at all!
Therefore it is actually very healthy. What is used instead of sugar is erythritol powder. This is a sweetener that has no effect on your blood sugar.
This way the cheesecake can still taste sweet without your blood sugar rising.
