KETO LEMON-BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BITES
This recipe includes a keto lemon cheesecake and a lemon cookie-pecan crust. I topped the cheesecakes with a blueberry topping that I made with four ingredients and collagen peptides. I’m getting a head start on Thanksgiving Day game-planning (yes, I plan this early…it’s the Super Bowl of cooking so I decided to try a new dessert! I added some lemon to my cheesecake base recipe, created a sugarfree grainfree lemon cookie-pecan crust & topped these with my 4 ingredient blueberry compote.
