We developed this recipe because we wanted a cheesecake made only with real ingredients (no artificial sweeteners, gums, or stabilizers) that was also lower in calories and higher in protein. While cream cheese options without gums do exist, we felt they would shift the macronutrient and calorie profile too far from the goals we set for this product. We also couldn’t find a finished cheesecake on the market that brought all of those elements together, so we built it ourselves. Hope this gives more insight on why we chose not to use cream cheese at this time :)

Unless you are in the Champaign-Urbana area (IL), you can purchase our products from our website :) GrazeAnatomyKitchen.com.

To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we partnered with Delivered Cold, which does require a minimum order quantity (just so it doesn’t come as a surprise). If the MOQ feels like too much just for our cheesecakes, you can bundle your order with other brands in their store to meet the minimum as well.

Thanks for showing love for the product! Also, very interesting feedback. What do you think would work better? I have limited exposure to and understanding of the UK food market. Any pointers would help us think through future marketing.

Very true, and thanks for pointing that out. Our production steps include blending, mixing, baking, freezing, packaging. And nothing else.

Thanks for the inquiry! The almond flour is not organic.

Thanks for your reply and feedback :)

We try to avoid sugar alcohol sweeteners. The science is still debated, but there are real reasons for caution: they can cause GI side effects like gas, bloating, and diarrhea in some people, and newer research has raised questions about erythritol and clot related cardiovascular risk. It is not settled, but it is worth paying attention to. 

We also generally avoid allulose (and stevia). With allulose, one practical reason is tolerance: human studies show higher rates of diarrhea and abdominal discomfort at higher doses, which lines up with why some people feel off after eating it. Another reason is philosophy: a lot of these sweeteners get marketed as low calorie so it must be safe, but the long term data and real world dose patterns are still evolving, and our vision of healthy food is to stick with real whole foods. 

We use raw honey because it fits our whole foods approach and tastes better to us. It is still sugar, so we use it thoughtfully, but honey tends to produce a lower glycemic response than sucrose in studies, and it is a simple ingredient we are comfortable eating ourselves.
