Keto Low Carb Cranberry Orange Swirl Cheesecake
This weeks recipe is Keto Low Carb Cranberry Orange Swirl Cheesecake, this is recipe #4 as part of our 2019 Keto Thanksgiving Recipe series. We believe that there is no reason to not remain strong on keto during the holidays. All it takes is a little bit of planning and a willingness to try new things, however even many of the traditional Thanksgiving recipes can be modified and turned into Keto Low Carb friendly dishes that the entire family can enjoy. This recipe is not only delicious but it is absolutely stunning and beautiful! Warning, you will easily overindulge with this cheesecake, the combination of orange and cranberry is addictive. This will be the talk of your holiday event, from Keto and non Keto folks alike. Enjoy!
We made blueberry swirl cheesecake this time last year, but I created a decadent variation with orange infused cranberries that I took to my family holiday party… It was a huge hit. So I decided to go with it again this year.
I always get excited when fresh cranberries start hitting the stores during fall. Their tart flavor goes perfectly well with recipes and they cook up into juicy flavor bursts during cooking. Sadly fresh cranberries are only available for a short time during the last few months of the year, but luckily this recipe works with frozen if you can find them, so you can enjoy it all year round. Combining cranberries with orange is a classic combination. Having freshly grated zest elevates its flavor and results in a perfectly balanced sweet and tart taste sensation.
So if you’re looking for a crowd pleasing holiday dessert idea, or just a use for leftover cranberries, you’ve got to try this. It is a real showstopper. The actual appearance of the cheesecake is quite magnificent… And you are sure to receive many compliments on how beautiful it is.
Another bonus to this cheesecake is that it keeps well for several days in the refrigerator, so it is a great make- ahead dessert for the holidays, for company, or a special occasion.
FOLLOW-UP TASTE TEST by C.J.
We made this cheesecake on a Tuesday night and let it sit overnight to set up (that’s a tip!). On Wednesday we did our Taste Test. I’m writing this blog post on a Saturday. And we still have two pieces left, so you definitely can get 12 servings out of this cheesecake. on a Thursday afternoon after work, and we had it for dinner. It does make 12 nicely proportioned pieces and it has remained just as delicious has the first day, I actually think the crust has somehow gotten better over time. This recipe is a winner for the holidays.
