Low Carb Cheesecake

(from aloogobi’s recipe box)

Categories: dessert, low carb

Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 2 cups Almond flour
  • 1/3 cup Butter (measured solid, then melted)
  • 3 tbsp Erythritol (granular or powdered works fine)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Filling
  • 32 oz Cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 1/4 cup Powdered erythritol (granular not recommended - use powdered for smoother texture)
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9" springform pan (or you can line the bottom with parchment paper).

  2. To make the crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Finally, beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

  4. Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use a pastry spatula for a smoother top if you have one).

  5. Bake for about 45-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly.

  6. Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don’t remove the springform edge yet). Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.)

  7. Serve with fresh raspberry sauce if desired.*
