Glad that cheesecake and cookies are a whole year long trendy recipe because these will be on repeat all year long! Specially when we are adding that touch of chocolate and strawberries. These only have 5.9 net carbs per serving, free from dairy and gluten and packed with all the flavors!
Well, just when we thought cookies couldn't get better this recipe popped into my mind, it was now some time since I wanted to bake some cookies and out of the sudden strawberry season is here! Chocolate and cream cheese is just part of my DNA so it also sounded right to be included in this recipe.
About these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies:
We are keeping it very simple, flavorful and nourishing. For the cookie base I simply used Organifi Vanilla Complete Protein, also vegan and organic! To make these gluten free and low carb... plus it adds such a good flavor!
Protein powder, specially plant-based ones have been my hack when it comes to making recipes more flavorful and satisfying thanks to the protein content, plus is makes the recipes low carb too! The perfect combination for steady glucose levels!
The filling is a creamy and flavorful combination of dairy free cream cheese along with some granulated monk fruit. And as toppings I simply added those strawberries and chocolate pieces that are also low carb.
Overall, these are the ingredients needed for these Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies:
Orgafini - Vanilla Complete Plant-Based Protein (PURELYHL for discount)
Keto coffee creamer or coconut oil
Egg
Dairy free cream cheese
