With no baking involved these are ready in a fraction of the time and effort of making real cheesecake. To make these all you need is:
1. Room temperature cream cheese. It’s important not to use cream cheese right out of the refrigerator. Cold cream cheese will become chunky when mixing vs smooth and creamy.
2. Lemon juice. You can use fresh squeezed lemon juice or 100% pure lemon juice from a bottle
3. Lemon zest or pure lemon extract
4. Liquid sweetener of your choice. Stevia and monkfruit are the most common to use. Always be on the lookout for added unwanted ingredients when buying liquid sweeteners.
5. Almond flour for the crust is optional
6. Unsweetened shredded coconut for the topping is also optional
