Is rhubarb keto?
Rhubarb is really low carb, and there's only 2.7 g NET Carbs in 100 g of rhubarb. That's fantastic for keto diet. Rhubarb keto recipes, especially keto rhubarb desserts could be your way to enjoy low carb desserts.
Enjoying keto dessert for happiness and better health
I believe that our life is a process of constant growth and development and we should be satisfied and happy during the process if we want to preserve or improve our health.
Enjoying delicious food is great part of enjoying life. Food is not only a necessity we need to survive. Food is also a social thing and a way to show our love and gratitude to others but also to ourselves.
That's why keto sweets are very important to me. I live keto lifestyle and trying to eat healthy all the time, and as everyone, I like to have a good low carb dessert sometimes.
How to make keto rhubarb cheesecake
Make keto pie crust
For this recipe I use this keto pie crust recipe. It works perfectly! It is low carb, it has a delicious flavor and it's crispy on the edges, like a delicious cookie. So, it reminds on a cookie crust, only this would be keto cookie crust without cookies.I just bake it for 8 minutes before putting rhubarb on top, not longer.
Keto rhubarb layer
After keto pie crust is just partially baked, add rhubarb with some low carb sweetener on top of the crust and continue with baking for 15 minutes or until rhubarb becomes softer. It doesn't have to be like jam, just softer.
After pie crust and rhubarb are done, cream cheese layer goes on top, and that's it! So easy keto dessert! Just keep it in the fridge for few hours before enjoying.
This keto rhubarb cheesecake needs to be properly cold. It's so much better when served cold directly from the fridge!
