Guest Blog - 'Have Butter Will Travel' White Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe
Share
Before we started on a low carb lifestyle, cheesecake and white chocolate would have been two of our favourite sweet treats. So you can imagine our elation when the Low Carb Emporium announced they were stocking Vitawerx White Chocolate. We had never tried a low carb white chocolate before, and were not disappointed. It was love at first bite!
Our heads then started racing with the possibilities of using the white chocolate in low carb dessert recipes. We couldn’t go past a white chocolate cheesecake, as they always have such a luxurious silky texture, so we got straight into the kitchen.
Cheesecake is such a great low carb dessert option and we have served it as a dessert loads of times to our carb eating family and friends and they always love it. This white chocolate cheesecake will not disappoint either. Also, we are always a sucker for individual desserts as they just look so pretty. It is perfect served with berries and garnished with the Beach Harvest Coconut Chips.
We have lost over 90kgs between us following a low carb lifestyle and would love to share with you our experiences, resources, travel tips and yummy recipes of course.

chocolate place in the microwave for approximately 2 minutes at 50% power. Stir every 30
seconds and remove once it is fully melted

straight away so the white chocolate does not start to set
