This coconut and blueberry cheesecake has a crust that is made with coconut instead of a low carb flour or biscuit. It looks too good to eat!
Who needs the Cheesecake Factory when you have a few packets of desiccated coconut and cream cheese in the house! This is a blend of my coconut cups and my current favourite cheesecake recipe. Instead of using nuts for the base, I have used desiccated coconut to create a crust. Then filled it with creamy cheesecake mixture and baked it. Then ate large pieces of it under the guise of "research" whilst trying to hold back the Chief Taster with one arm.
Coconut Crusted Cheesecake
This is a coconut lover and cheesecake admirer perfect combination. The coconut crust gives a delightful chewy, sweet flavour that blends well with the creamy cheesecake. The blueberries bring it all together. You could make this with other berries too, raspberry will be my next one
.
NO BAKE LOW CARB CHEESECAKE OPTION
If you are looking for a no bake cheesecake I have made another version of this. The crust still needs to be baked but the cheesecake is a simple mix and chill! https://divaliciousrecipes.com/no-bake-keto-blueberry-cheesecake-low-carb/
The beauty of this cheesecake is that it looks more difficult to make than it is. I love dishes that look like you made an effort and spent hours in the kitchen. When the reality is you took 30 minutes, then sat back with a glass of wine!
