Low carb, keto friendly sweet pie or cheesecake, sugar free, gluten free and also diabetic friendly!
Keto/low carb
This pie reminds me of the delicious German-style cheesecake (Käsekuchen), but it's also something between a milk pie and Cretan kalitsounia.
It's not easy to describe it but it's definitely delicious!
The proportions are for many people but you can easily use half the amount of ingredients and bake in a smaller baking pan.
I sometimes use half the amount of the ingredients to make cheesecake and always come out perfect!
