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.

Love Those Florida Strawberries!

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.

Strawberries Are Great On A Low Carb Diet

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:

474 cals / 48.2g fat / 5.7g carbs / 0.4g fiber / 4.5g protein = 5.3g net carbs

Ingredients

  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup Swerve sweetener**

  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 strawberries, large

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl add the cream cheese, sweetener and whipping cream. Beat on high until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add in lemon extract and mix well. If you would like more lemon flavor add a bit of the lemon zest as you won't need all of it.

  4. Fill each jar half way with half of the cream cheese mixture.

  5. Add the chopped strawberry to both jars to make a nice layer.

  6. Top the strawberries with the rest of the cream cheese mixture.

  7. Use the slices of the strawberry to make a flow pattern on top.

  8. Sprinkle lemon zest in the middle of each flower. You don't have to use all the zest, just what looks nice.

  9. Refrigerate until ready to eat. 

  10. **You can use whatever sweetener you like. Just make sure the amount you use is equal to ⅓ cup sugar.

  11. 474 cals / 48.2g fat / 5.7g carbs / 0.4g fiber / 4.5g protein = 5.3g net carbs

      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!

    is the nutritional information for the whole thing or per serving? (being there is 2 servings?

      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 Donna, yes the labels are confusing but I have not found Swerve to ever be a problem for me and I do love it for desserts.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you could just use real lemon juice instead of lemon extract.

    Thanks,
    Sandy

      July 31, 2018 at 5:15 pm

      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!
