I had to attempt to create a version of a Keto Basque Cheesecake Slice that would be absolutely amazing, and I did!
I have seen so many Basque cheesecakes popping up everywhere and while I am a huge fan of the uncooked varieties, I wanted to do my little spin on on one.
As you may have noticed I do love the Sukrin Gold products as they impart a delicious caramel flavour into baking as well as making delicious caramel as well.
The Sukrin Gold in this recipe is a superstar!
Try not to eat the entire caramel cheesecake filling before you even bake it. I dare you lol! It is so tasty!
If you have viewed Basque cheesecake recipes you will notice that they do have a LOT of sugar! Even with the Sukrin gold being less sweet than standard sugar I only used a very small amount for this recipe comparatively.
Taste the mixture and add more if you want to make your sweeter, but maybe just try it the standard way first, then do variations.
Basque Cheesecake Variations
We all love to change things up a little and I am sure you all will have a play with this recipe.
I know a chocolate glaze or ganache would pair perfectly or even a salted caramel sauce drizzled over top.
Mix a little Sukrin Gold into some cream and whip until thick and top your slice with that.
You could omit the Sukrin and use standard sweetener for a traditional Basque cheesecake or even add some chocolate or coffee for a tiramisu version.
I am sure I will be seeing a few versions after I release this recipe.
Keto Basque Cheesecake Dietary Variations
For those of you who need to swap out the nuts for lunchboxes or intolerances then please swap for any seed meal like sunflower or pepita meal, and for dairy-free or vegan you can use coconut oil, coconut butter, or Nuttelex for the base. For the topping swap the cream cheese for cashew cheese or dairy free cream cheese, the cream for thick coconut cream, and eggs for aquafaba.
