This is a very simple dessert that can be made ahead of time for last minute meals. I refrained myself from eating the blueberries on a slice of sourdough toast, but I’m tempted to do it just because it’s so good. With Spring and Summer on it’s way this is going in my go to recipes. So simple to swap out the fruit as well. I know it’s a keto recipe, but you can easily use regular sugars and powder sugar too instead of the stevia.

Blueberry Topping:
1 cup wild fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon water
Optional: a few drops of stevia, erythritol, or Swerve to taste
Place the blueberries and water in a saucepan.
Gently heat over medium-low until the blueberries have softened. Optionally add Stevia to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing the saucepan over a bowl with ice water.
Cheesecake Base:
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ cup full fat cream cheese or mascarpone
¼ cup powdered erythritol or Swerve
1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Place all the cheesecake layer ingredients in a bowl.
Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, mix until smooth and creamy.
Divide among five (4 ounce) serving glasses and top with the blueberry sauce. You can serve these right away, but they are best chilled for at least 2 hours. Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days.
