Are you looking to create a special dessert for your Valentine? However did you want it to be Keto, delicious, quick and easy? Luckily I got you covered. Sometimes we just don’t have time to spend hours in this kitchen. My Valentine layered red velvet mini cheesecakes can save the day and still have you looking gourmet!
With a quick keto red velvet cake recipe and five minute keto whip up cheesecake filling, this dessert can be assembled in five minutes. You can even make the red-velvet keto sheet cake the night before to keep it super quick.
Make your keto red velvet cake in a one layer cookie sheet that has 1/2 to 1 inch sides to hold the batter.
Allow to cool. (you can make this night before so it is cooled and ready next day, or make it same day, just be sure to allow time for it to cool down.)
Make the cheesecake filling. Cut the cake in circles or hearts with the cookie cutter shape you desire, fill a piping bag or sturdy zip lock bag with the filling. Cut off the corner. begin to stack and layer your cake circles alternating between cake then filling. There will be three layers of filling and four layers of cake. See Recipe below for all the details.
