Cheesecake, Tiramisu … I asked for your next keto dessert request & delivered!

Something about “cheesecake” and “tiramisu” just needed to be made into one keto dessert:  a cheesecake style tiramisu sheet cake.  Yes, it’s a thing … or at least now it is.  😉

Tiramisu while on keto isn’t the easiest thing to create, but I made a version using a chocolate sponge-like “lady finger” for the base and a cheesecake-like topping (cream cheese, sour cream, heavy whipping cream).

Don’t worry, this version of a cheesecake style tiramisu does not require mascarpone cheese and you can make substitutions.

I had plans to come up with a quick and microwaveable version of a keto tiramisu and then remembered I needed to create a 4th version of my favorite keto cheesecakes.
