Here’s how to make strawberry sauce for cheesecake. This simple sugar free strawberry syrup can also be used for topping pancakes.
One of my favorite morning snacks is a cup of fruit yogurt. I usually mix in a few blueberries and sweetener, but saw some Florida strawberries on sale at the grocery store and thought they’d be great in yogurt.
Instead of slicing the strawberries for each serving of yogurt, I thought it’d be easier to slice all the strawberries ahead of time and mix them with sweetener. That way, when it was time for my yogurt snack, I could just grab a big spoonful and stir it into the plain yogurt.
So, here’s how to make strawberry sauce for cheesecake and pancakes. And, this simple strawberry syrup is also perfect for mixing into plain whole fat yogurt.
This weekend, I’m gonna make some coconut flour waffles and top it with this strawberry sauce and a little whipped cream. Yum, I can’t wait!

looks nice, I personally tend to stay away from fruit as it can kick you out of ketosis because of the way fructose is metabolized in the liver, but if your not aiming to stay in ketosis this looks like a great recipe!
Lisa says
Good point on the fruit for those in ketosis. I have found that I can continue to lose weight with fruit as long as I keep my daily caloric intake low. Although calories aren’t supposed to matter with low carb dieting, I’ve found I lose weight best by eating both low carb and low calorie.
