This is a very nice recipe idea from Julia McPhee, a fellow blogger, who lives in New Zealand. It's a 'low Carb lemon yoghurt cheesecake', and is a special dessert - for a special occasion like Valentine's Day! 

Ingredients:
Serves 12
2.5g carb per serving
1.5 - 2 cups Almond meal or almond flour
150 g. Butter (melted)
Juice and rind of 5 medium sized Lemons
2 cups cream
1 cup natural Greek yoghurt (full fat, unsweetened)
2 tsp Natvia (or sweetener of choice)
2 tbsp. Gelatine powder
¼ cup boiling water
You will find the instructions here 
If you should need help with measurement equivalents see here

 All the best Jan

    While I would love this dessert, Himself does not like cheesecake. Hmmm, wonder if it would freeze ok so I would have more for me.

    Hello 'CJ' I've not tried freezing it, but this alternative recipe freezes well, it's an Almond Flour Cake with Lemon, see details here

    Happy Valentine's Day. I'm making dinner for two tonight since my parents are arriving tomorrow. Tonight will be chocolate mousse, and I've been wondering what to make for tomorrow. Lemon cheesecake sounds like just the thing. Thanks for the inspiration!
