Today on #SundaySupper we are partnering with Florida Strawberry Growers Association to bring No Bake Strawberry Desserts. One of the best things about a low carb diet is the ability to make cheesecake-esque desserts and still stay on your diet. This no bake, low carb lemon strawberry cheesecake treat is case in point. The bright lemons go perfectly with plump, fresh strawberries. And we all know strawberries and cheesecake are a match made in heaven. This dessert only takes a few minutes to make and has just 5.3g net carbs.

Don’t you love seeing those beautiful red strawberries in the middle of winter? I know I do. Did you know that the growing season for Florida Strawberries is December through April? So we are right in the midst of their growing season and that is why they are showing up in our grocery stores. I see Florida strawberries all the time at Aldi but if your local grocery store doesn’t carry Florida strawberries, you should request that they do. Nothing beats a fresh strawberry in the middle of winter. 

I also love strawberries because being on a low carb diet, strawberries are one of the few fruits that are lower in carbs. So when you buy Florida strawberries you get all that natural sweetness and beautiful color which work great with  low carb desserts. That is a win win for me!  I use fresh strawberries in many low carb treats like my strawberry pretzel-less dessert and my fathead fruit pizza.

 Well I hope you liked this easy no bake dessert today. I love that it’s low carb and so easy to make. While this recipe only makes 2 desserts, they are REALLY filling and you can probably make it into 4 if you used a different container. The jars I used were Ball 8oz jam jars.  For more delicious no bake strawberry desserts, please scroll down to see what my friends at Sunday Supper have for you. The nutritional information for 1 jar or dessert is:
