Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 packages (32 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups low-carb sweetener
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract for the crust. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even layer. You can use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down firmly.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the low-carb sweetener and continue to beat until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. The edges should be slightly golden.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Once chilled, run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake before removing the sides of the springform pan.
- Slice and serve your delicious Keto Cheesecake!
