Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 100 grams Erythritol
- 3 large Eggs
- 125 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring it extends about 2 inches above the pan edges.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and erythritol. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the Greek yogurt and mix until fully incorporated.
Introduce the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until all ingredients are well blended.
Sift in the almond flour and add the salt. Carefully fold them into the mixture with a spatula until fully combined.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is dark brown and the center is still slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Remove from the pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your heart-healthy Keto Basque Cheesecake!
