Have you tried our Eggnog Cheesecakes? They’re one delicious keto dessert that you’ll be making all year round!

We love Natvia sweetener and understand that it can be difficult to find in other countries (it is available on Amazon worldwide through the link above). If you cannot get your hands on it we recommend granulated Erythritol for the loaf and powdered Erythritol for the icing.

We’ve designed this low-carb gingerbread cake recipe to make 10 generous serves. The gingerbread loaf can be sliced into smaller pieces to suit your requirements.
