Ingredients
Crust
4.5 ounces keto vanilla wafers see Expert Tips for alternatives
¼ cup butter melted
Cheesecake Layer
8 ounces cream cheese softened
½ cup Swerve Confectioners see Expert tips for alternatives
¼ cup lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
Lemon Layer
1 recipe keto lemon curd
Whipped Topping
¾ cup heavy whipping cream chilled
3 tablespoon Swerve Confectioners
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Crust
Place the vanilla wafers in a food processor and process until they resemble crumbs. You can also crush them in a zip lock bag.
Transfer to an 8×8 inch pan and drizzle with the melted butter. Mix well to combine and then press firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan. Freeze will preparing the filling.
Cheesecake Layer
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in the sweetener and lemon juice until well combined.
Add the cream a little at a time until a nice spreadable consistency is achieved. Spread over the chilled crust and return to the freezer.
Lemon Layer
Prepare the lemon curd according to the directions, if you haven’t already. Spread over the cheesecake filling and return to the freezer.
Whipped Topping
In a large bowl, beat the whipping cream with the sweetener and vanilla until it holds stiff peaks. Spread over the lemon layer and return to the freezer.
Freeze at least 2 hours to help it set before cutting into servings.
Notes
Storage information: You can store Lemon Lush in either the refrigerator or the freezer. In both cases, wrap it up tightly. It can last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or the freezer for up to 2 months. Let it thaw completely before serving.
Sweetener options: You can use a number of sweetener here but I do find that using allulose makes the cheesecake filling and the whipped topping very soft. They don’t firm up as well and the pieces come out a little messier. But it does work!
Since this is not a baked recipe, make sure you are using sweeteners that dissolve well. I recommend powdered sweeteners like Swerve Confectioners or concentrated liquid sweeteners like stevia extract.
