  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    1. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, and ground cinnamon if using.
    2. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
    3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish, making sure it’s evenly distributed and well-packed.
    4. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
    2. Gradually add the erythritol while continuing to beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
    3. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice if using, and mix until combined.
        1. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
        2. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
      1. Assemble the Cheesecake:
        1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly.
        2. Smooth the top with a spatula.
      2. Chill:
        1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly.
      3. Serve:
        1. Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan.
        2. Slice and enjoy as-is or with optional keto-friendly toppings like fresh berries or a sugar-free chocolate sauce.

      Tips

      • Sweetener: Adjust the amount of erythritol based on your taste preference. Some sweeteners are more potent than others.
      • Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
      • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week. The cheesecake can also be frozen for longer storage.
