I’m actually not a fan of chocolate but made this because the recipe looked like something my chocoholic boyfriend would like.
I’ve tasted a bit of the topping and it’s very sweet, very chocolatey. He better eat it or I’ll be taking it to the chocoholics at work

I need to try this one. Just gotta collect all of the ingredients… (My birthday is coming up and this would make a nice “birthday cake” that won’t blow me out of ketosis, even with a second piece. 
Not sure if you’d be able to eat a second slice, it’s very rich… very nice though. I’ll be taking most of this one into work tomorrow for my non-keto colleagues.
I tried making the death by chocolate cheesecake!
A couple of things come to mind. First, it is good. If I make it again, I’ll swap out at least some of the crust with pecans / pecan meal rather than have it all almond meal. I think it would add to the flavor. Second, I would add some salt, maybe to the crust as well as the filling part. I did use salted butter but it wasn’t enough. We found that sprinkling some salt on top really enhanced the flavor. So I think salt in it would help. I think I’d add a few more strawberries on top. The acid really did help to balance out the flavors.
That said, I found out that erythritol isn’t something I want to use all the time. A little here or there probably wouldn’t bother me but we’ve eaten a piece of this death by chocolate cheesecake for supper, breakfast, and supper, three meals in a row, and I’ve been wondering why I’ve been having headaches. I looked at the side effects and it’s very common for people to experience headaches when they use erythritol. We’ve eaten half of it but I think we’re gonna stick the rest in the freezer and maybe get out a piece once in a while.
I’m not disappointed. It was tasty. But I think I’d want to save something like this for a special occasion only, not a regular thing, and times when I might get one small piece only with the rest shared with other people. 
If I make it again, I’ll use less chocolate and less sweeteners, and reduce the amounts by half… but I’m not a fan of sweet things or chocolate. My boyfriend however is, and he liked it so much that he made himself feel sick by eating two big slices when I had told him one would be plenty 
Shortstuff, I also found that one smallish slice was PLENTY! I joked about maybe eating two slices but I know I wouldn’t want to because I felt quite full after just one.
I do like at least some sweetness but am not sure what I could use that would agree with me. The erythritol does add some bulk to the recipe so I don’t know if eliminating that would mess up some of the proportions. Maybe someone has already played with that.
Actually, I think I’d like to try a lemon cheesecake the next time around. I’ve always liked lemon anyway.

Thanks, Allie!
That looks quite simple to make and it appears to be quite versatile.
Believe it or not, I’ve kinda had my fill for desserts for a while. (Never would have thought I’d hear myself say that. LOL!) Man, this keto thing is doing strange things to me.
Erythritol gives me headache every time. It’s a sugar alcohol with fewer side effects but seems some are definitely consistently more affected.
