Ingredients
For the Crust
- 150 g almond flour
- 50 g melted butter
- 2 tbsp erythritol
For the Filling
- 500 g cream cheese (full-fat)
- 150 g granulated erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- 200 g sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lemon zested (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and sweetener for the crust. Mix until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a greased 8-inch (20cm) springform pan to form an even layer. You can use the back of a spoon to help press it down.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until it starts to turn golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling. Leave the oven on.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth and creamy.
- Add the sweetener, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) to the cream cheese. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and the filling is smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Place the cheesecake back in the oven and bake at 160°C (320°F) for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
- Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour.
- After cooling in the oven, remove the cheesecake and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once the cheesecake is well chilled, you can optionally top it with fresh berries or a low-carb berry sauce.
- Slice and serve your low-carb cheesecake, and enjoy!Please note that the nutritional information may vary based on the specific brands of ingredients you use and any optional toppings or modifications.
