Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
For the Filling:
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sweetener
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and granulated sweetener. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 2: Pressing the Crust
Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a greased or parchment-lined springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create an even layer.
Step 3: Pre-baking the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the crust in the oven and bake for 10 minutes until it becomes slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Step 4: Mixing the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sweetener. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and lemon juice until fully incorporated.
Step 5: Pouring the Filling
Pour the cream cheese filling over the pre-baked crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
Step 6: Baking the Cheesecake
Place the springform pan with the cheesecake in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Step 7: Cooling and Chilling
Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 8: Serving and Enjoying
Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake into portions and serve chilled. You can top it with fresh berries or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
