A keto strawberry cheesecake for our little Champ’s birthday

Naois recently turned 7 and obviously his birthday wouldn’t be complete without a home-baked cake and candles. The trick is to make a cake that everyone enjoys and that at the same time, fits within the strict rules of Naois’s diet. The cake I made this year was a great success. Everyone loved it and it was gone in no time. Several family members even asked for the recipe. And above all, when the moment came for Naois to blow out the candles, he was the happiest little man in the world. That sparkle in the eyes and that big smile – that’s what you do it for. Here’s the recipe:
