Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp erythritol
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of erythritol. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and form a crumbly dough.
- Form the crust: Press the almond flour mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or cheesecake pan to create an even crust layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, 1/2 cup erythritol, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and well incorporated.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
- Set the cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for 3 to 4 hours or until it is fully set and firm enough to slice.
- Serve: Once set, slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or sugar-free whipped cream for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Press the crust mixture firmly to prevent it from crumbling when slicing.
- For added flavor, you can add lemon zest or a pinch of salt to the crust mixture.
- This cheesecake should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- Optional toppings include fresh berries, sugar-free whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
