Sugar Free Ricotta Cheesecake

Sugar Free Ricotta Cheesecake

While my besties came to visit me this past August, I brought a lot of ricotta. I decided to make a ricotta cheesecake but I didn’t have any lemon or lemon juice. My friend Samantha suggested I add a packet of Lemon LMNT and oh my goodness! This was the best dessert!

🍋 Benefits of Lemon LMNT

Electrolyte replenishment for performance, recovery, and everyday hydration

🧬 Core Formula Benefits (Applies to All LMNT Flavors)

Each stick contains:

  • Sodium – 1000 mg

  • Potassium – 200 mg

  • Magnesium – 60 mg

  • Zero sugar, zero artificial ingredients

🔥 Why Electrolytes Matter

When you’re keto, low-carb, fasting, or highly active, your body:

  • Excretes more sodium due to lowered insulin

  • Loses potassium and magnesium through sweat and urine

  • Needs electrolytes to prevent fatigue, cramping, headaches, and low performance

🍋 Specific Benefits of Lemon LMNT

1. Rapid Rehydration

  • High sodium content restores fluid balance faster than plain water

  • Perfect for post-workout, sauna sessions, or hot climates

2. Muscle Function & Recovery

  • Potassium and magnesium work together to:

    • Prevent cramps

    • Support muscle contraction and relaxation

    • Reduce post-exercise soreness

3. Energy & Mental Clarity

  • Electrolyte balance helps maintain:

    • Stable blood pressure

    • Nerve conduction

    • Cognitive focus during long work sessions or training

4. Supports Intermittent Fasting & Keto

  • Prevents the “keto flu” by replacing sodium lost from reduced carb intake

  • Helps sustain steady energy during extended fasts without breaking them

5. Refreshing Flavor = More Consistent Hydration

  • Lemon is crisp, tart, and not overly sweet, which encourages you to drink more water without sugar

  • Ideal for mixing into sparkling water for a hydrating “soda” alternative

🛠️ Pro Tips for Using Lemon LMNT

Goal Timing How to Use
Workout Performance 30 min pre-workout Mix 1 stick in cold water
Fasting Support Morning or mid-day Sip slowly to avoid lightheadedness
Heat/Sauna Recovery Immediately after Combine with extra 8–16 oz water
Travel Anytime Prevent dehydration from flights

Lemon LMNT delivers a potent, no-sugar electrolyte balance that supports hydration, performance, recovery, and mental clarity—and its bright citrus flavor makes it easy to maintain consistent electrolyte intake, especially on keto, fasting, or active days.

🔑 Electrolytes aren’t optional when you’re low-carb or training hard—they’re fuel for your cells.

It is unbelievable how perfect using LMNT works for a protein packed dessert!

It’s great having LMNT as a healthy option for people. I have been consulting clients for over 20 years now and in the past, I would get a lot of parents asking me what their kids can drink if I do not recommend Gatorade. Now I recommend LMNT! It is like Gatorade without the sugar or food dye and it works perfect to pack when traveling.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds ricotta cheese
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup powdered allulose
  • 1 packet Lemon LMNT

OPTIONAL:

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch springform pan or an 8 by 11 inch casserole dish. Place the springform pan on a large sheet pan.
  • Strain the ricotta cheese and discard the liquid.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a blade, add the cheese, eggs, sweeteners, and lemon LMNT. Mix, starting on low and increasing to medium speed for 10 minutes. The mixture will look light and fluffy. If using a hand-mixer, keep the speed at medium.
  • Pour the batter into the springform pan (or casserole dish) and give it a little shake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour if using a springform pan (if using a casserole dish, bake for 30 minutes or until set and just barely jiggly in the center). Turn the oven off; allow cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door closed for 1 hour more to prevent cracking.
    NOTE: tent with tinfoil if it starts to brown too much.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool. When the cake is fully chilled, you can remove the springform pan. Slice and serve!
