- 3 Tbsp grass fed butter or coconut oil, melted
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Grease pie pan.
- Mix all ingredients together, blending well.
- Press into pie pan.
- Bake for 9 minutes. Remove from oven.
Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 8 oz organic cream cheese (1 stick), room temperature
- 3 cage-free organic eggs, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1 tsp liquid stevia (or to taste)
- 1 cup organic sour cream
Directions:
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 deg F.
- Mix cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, beating for about 30-60 seconds between each egg.
- Add vanilla, erythritol, stevia and optional ingredients, beating until smooth and consistent.
- Pour into baked pie crust until top of cheesecake reaches top of crust.
- Bake for 45min-1 hour until center is almost set, but still jiggly.

Strawberry Sauce
Ingredients:
- Frozen Strawberries
- Water (tiny bit)
- Stevia to taste
Directions:
- Add frozen strawberries to a sauce pan with just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Heat on low until strawberries thaw and water starts to become syrupy.
- Add stevia if desired. Add more berries to add color.
- For a smooth sauce, blend until consistent and strain out any undesired lumps.
- Cover cheesecake and enjoy!
