This delicious cheesecake is refined sugar-free and gluten-free!
Ingredients
Crust:
2 T. salted butter, melted
¾ c. Gluten Free Graham Cracker Crumbs
Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened (preferably organic)
¼ c. heavy whipping cream (preferably organic)
¼ c. maple syrup
juice of half a lemon
5 drops lemon essential oil (I use doTERRA which is safe for internal use. This is optional but adds great lemon flavor!)
Topping:
¾ c. each strawberries and blueberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Stir together the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs. Place in the bottom of a small, rectangular glass dish. Press down with fingers to flatten on the bottom of the dish and bake for about 10 minutes or just slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
For filling, combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, liquid stevia, lemon essential oil, and maple syrup with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Pour on top of cooled crust and spread evenly. Arrange blueberries and sliced strawberries to resemble the American Flag.
*Recipe can easily be doubled to make a 9x13in dish flag.
