Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Ricotta cheese
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 100 grams Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan by lightly greasing it or lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and granulated erythritol. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the almond flour crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Once the cheesecake is at room temperature, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy your low-carb ricotta cheesecake!
