For me it's been anything dairy and then I was told I had gestational diabetes and couldn't have my hot chocolates I was GUTTED! Been a trial and error in what works/what doesn't. This is a sweet citrus, no-bake lemon cheesecake! You can whip these up in minutes; they will keep those sweet cravings at bay ๐Ÿคž Please note: lemon is used in this recipe due to lemons being very low in fructose. It is one of the fruits that has fewer carbs and is therefore tolerated by many. A medium-sized lemon contains around 0.6 grams of fructose - this is significantly lower than many other fruits. The recipe is self-paired, meaning it can be eaten just the way it is without having to add additional protein and fats - however I found when I ate too much of it, it did spike my bloods so for me it's fine when portion controlled.

Add the full fat cream cheese, lemon juice and zest and mix into the double cream. The more you whisk, the thicker it will become (but be careful not to over whip or it can split) 5. Add sweetener to your liking and taste. Start with 1 tbsp, mix and taste, repeating until the cheesecake is to your liking! 6.
