Diabetic-Friendly Cake That Melts in Your Mouth (And How to Make It)

 

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla.

  3. Press mixture firmly into a greased 8-inch cake pan or pie dish.

  4. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.

  5. Let cool completely.

This crust stays tender and slightly nutty—no refined flour needed.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

  2. Add powdered sweetener and vanilla; mix well.

  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.

  4. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.

  5. Stir in shredded coconut and berries (if using).

The result should be light, airy, and creamy—almost mousse-like.

Step 3: Assemble

  • Spread filling evenly over cooled crust.

  • Smooth the top with a spatula.

  • Chill for at least 3–4 hours (overnight is even better).

Chilling helps the cake set into that perfect, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touch

Before serving:

  • Top with a swirl of whipped cream.

  • Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.
