[GF&SF&Keto] Cheese Cake (no sour cream!)

  

Looks beautiful, right?

Once again,

I was in search for a cheese cake recipe

and of course again I was short on few ingredients.

In Korea, it's hard to find sour cream.

I don't know why because they have cream cheese and

almost every kind of dairy products except for sour cream.

Unfortunately, almost all the recipe I found 

required sour cream, lemon and sugar.

I was about to go out and look for sour cream or lemon at least 

but my homemade cream cheese was about to expire!

I had drained /gaused the extra water out from

regular plain yogurt for 3-4days to make them thick like cream cheese.

I guess if you do it with greek yogurt which is already thick, 

and drain more water out it will become denser cream cheese.

Anyways, so I didn't have any other choice but to 

experiment without sour cream and lemon.

I just took them (ingredients I didn't have) all out and substituted sugar with stevia.

I don't usually use stevia but I knew this recipe needed it.

Thankfully the peculiar taste of stevia was actually gone when 

it was incorporated with the mixture.

I hate the taste of stevia in chocolate desserts. It really taste bitter and sweet 

at the same time. 

When I tried my cheese cake, I was actually really impressed!

It was sweet as if it was made with actual white sugar.

The texture was just like any other cheese cake 

(well less dense than New York cheese cake) .

The crust was nutty and chocolaty; thanks to unsweetened cocoa power.

To be honest, the taste over all was great but 

I think I should of added some lemon if I had one.

Oh, and guys use the pie or cake pan that detaches from the bottom

( I totally forgot what they were called)

I had a hard time getting my cake out; 

well I should of had them in the fridge much longer..

but I just couldn't wait!!
