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.

      Hi Debbie,
      I tend to use the confectioners more than the granular and I think it would work better in this recipe. I think if you have the granular, you can grind it in a food processor to make it more like the confectioners. Hope you like it!

      Hi Megan, the recipe makes 2 jars so the nutritional information is for 1 jar serving. Hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    I was looking at the nutrition facts for the Swerve. It says 4g total carb per Teaspoon! One third cup figures out to 64! That’s 32 carbs per serving!!! How did you come up with your number????

      Hi Donna, Swerve my have 4g of carbs but it also has 4g of non-absorbed carbs therefore it has 0 net carbs. Does that make sense? Here’s some info from their website.
      “The carbohydrates in Swerve come from the erythritol and oligosaccharides. Erythritol is somewhat of an anomaly in the carbohydrate world, since it only contributes 0.2 calories per gram. Erythritol is absorbed in the small intestine and then 90% is eliminated by the body, so it’s never metabolized. Basically, we don’t absorb the ingredients in Swerve, so it can’t contribute a significant amount of calories.”
      And here is the nutritional label URL.

      Hope that helps!

      Hi Sandy, I don’t think the lemon juice would work but you can use some lemon zest. I think the juice would make it tart whereas the zest would just give it a fresh lemon flavor like the extract. Hope that helps!

      I know what you mean Gloria. We are supposed to have unusually warm weather today and everyone is totally psyched. I find comfort in small things like this dessert. Thanks for stopping by!

    I love this low carb option! Dad eats a low/no carb diet and I always stuggle with desserts for him when we have them over for dinner. This would be perfect for them!
