Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp erythritol or your preferred sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional, for a tangy touch)
Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, melted butter, erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything is well combined and the dough holds together.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool while you prepare the filling.

2. Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Greek yogurt, powdered erythritol, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Mix until well combined and smooth. Make sure the batter is lump-free.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
3. Bake the Cheesecake:
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the center still has a slight wobble when you gently shake the pan.
- If the top of the cheesecake starts to brown too quickly, you can cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
4. Cool and Chill:
- Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. This will help prevent cracks from forming.
- After it has cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
5. Serve:
- Before serving, you can top the cheesecake with fresh berries, a drizzle of sugar-free fruit syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
- Slice and enjoy this creamy, tangy keto yogurt cheesecake!
Tips:
- To prevent cracks, make sure to let the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven and chill it completely in the fridge before serving.
- For a bit of extra flavor, you can mix a small amount of lemon zest into the filling.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, you can add a small amount of gelatin to the filling (dissolved in warm water) to help it set even better.
