Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup erythritol sweetener
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
For the crust, mix together the almond flour, shredded coconut, 0.25 cup erythritol sweetener, and the melted butter in a medium bowl until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin powder with the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream, mixing until well combined.
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and 0.5 cup powdered erythritol sweetener to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Microwave the gelatin for 10-15 seconds until melted, then mix it into the cream mixture.
Pour the custard mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until the custard is just set and slightly jiggles in the center.
Allow the custard slice to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Once chilled, slice into 9 squares and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
