Notes
Makes 12 slices. 4.8g net carbs per slice. (Calculated without the strawberry decoration on top. FYI, 1 medium strawberry adds 0.7 net carbs).
Before serving, I put the cake in the freezer for 30 minutes. This makes it easier to slice.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cheesecake also freezes well for up to 3 months.
*** Make sure the gelatine is 100% dissolved. If necessary, place the bowl with the gelatine into a larger bowl filled with boiling water.
I used a food processor, but you can make this recipe with an immersion blender.
The nutritional info given is per slice assuming 12 slices per cake without topping/decoration.
