Best Sugar Free Coffee Cheesecake Recipe

Two of my favorite ingredients create the ultimate summer time dessert, not to forget to mention the best fact of all, NO BAKE !!! Even if you may not be a coffee drinker, you will absolutely love the flavors in this easy coffee cheesecake recipe!
Do you ever get parent guilt? Parent guilt occurs when work, obligations, schedules, deadlines, etc get in the way of being, doing, participating in EVERYTHING the kids are involved in.
It certainly doesn't occur often as I'm pretty much with my kids 24/7 since we home school and I take them to most or almost all of their after school and weekend activities they are involved with.
But now it's summer and school is out. So I have some parental guilt today.
My kids are at day camp for cub scouts this week. My oldest two are volunteers and my youngest is a participant. And I volunteered the entire week rain or shine as I have done for the last 7 years since my oldest was in cub scouts. Currently I am home alone without all three kiddies with me. Just quietly writing/working away to get some posts done and deadlines complete before we head to Florida for a family vacation in a few days.
Compromising had to happen. I needed just one day off this week to get ready for a full week, kind of unplugged for Florida. I can not be completely unplugged yet for vacation, but most things will be scheduled and I won't be glued to my phone either.
SO why in the world should I feel any guilt at all, I mean I'm working, not sitting around enjoying this cheesecake and watching talk shows or anything. But if I had a piece left of this cake I might have been tempted to kick my feet up for at least a short break.
There's none left of this of course. I made this for a family party and it was vanished in minutes! Even family members who share they don't like recipes that have crusts, fell in love with this crust and cheesecake.
Does parental guilt ever go away? Any wisdom from experimented older mothers? I'd love to know how to feel it less when working at home needs to happen. I still may continue to have parent guilt from time to time but I won't feel the least bit of guilt in enjoying a piece of this cheesecake and neither should you. 🙂

I made this recipe, preparing first the coffee extract and the results were superb! Thank you!!
Hi, I love coffee but my husband doesn’t though he will eat chocolate/coffee ice cream occasionally . I did not have the coffee extract but I figured that would be OK since he’s not a big coffee person. I don’t think it had the right flavor without it after all so I used a little vanilla extract and a little coconut extract. Still didn’t like the flavor so I added cocoa powder to the cheesecake itself. I know this adds more carbs but I wanted him to eat it. Are used liquid Monk fruit liquid Stevia and a tiny bit of powdered lankanto as he still has a sweet tooth. Came out great. Usually I don’t adjust your recipes that much. I have to say I will be using the crust part of this recipe a lot! Do you have a recipe that uses the same ingredients but in a cookie form?
Looks great! Could I substitute pecans for the sunflower seeds and still achieve the desired consistency for the crust?
Yes that would work.
