Preheat your oven to 210Β°C (410Β°F).
Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends at least 2 inches above the rim of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the erythritol to the cream cheese, beating until well combined.
Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
Add the almond flour and salt to the mixture and blend until fully combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes. The top should be dark brown and the center should still have a slight jiggle.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for at least an hour. It will deflate slightly as it cools, creating its signature look.
Once cooled, remove the cheesecake from the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve chilled. Enjoy your Keto Basque Cheesecake!
