Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 5 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 cups almond flour coconut flour can be used instead, see recipe notes for more info
  • 3 tbsp sweetener erythritol

For the Cheesecake:

  • 32 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cups natural Keto sweetener erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 4 eggs

For topping:

  • berries optional

Instructions

  • Low-Carb Crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a bowl combine the almond flour, sweetener and melted butter, stir to combine.
  • Line the bottom of a 10-inch springform (or a pan with removable bottom) with parchment paper. Grease theses with butter.
  • Spread the crust mixture on the bottom and bake for 10 minutes. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 300 F.
  • Low-Carb Cheesecake Filling:
  • Cream together the cream cheese with the sweetener with an electric mixer for 5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl 1-2 times.
  • Add the sour cream (yogurt) and vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Next - add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition, until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture over the crust and bake (I don't use a water bath for cheesecakes)
  • Bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes, until the edges are set and the middle is a little soft and wiggly.
  • Cool at room temperature completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, before slicing.
