Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups Fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 1 handful Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and granulated erythritol. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered erythritol together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on medium speed until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Slowly mix in the heavy whipping cream until the filling is smooth and lump-free.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Avoid overbaking to retain a creamy texture.
Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Once chilled, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Optionally, top the cheesecake with fresh berries and garnish with mint leaves before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
