Keto Cheesecake Ingredients:
To make this mouthwatering keto cheesecake, you’ll need:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons monkfruit sweetener
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 680g cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- A pinch of salt
- Fresh berries (optional) for garnish
Keto Cheesecake Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 160°C. Grease a 22cm springform pan and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of sweetener. Mix until well combined and press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and set it aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, remaining sweetener, and vanilla extract. Beat again until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Incorporate the fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Continue beating until the filling is smooth and fluffy.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour to cool gradually. This helps prevent cracking.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow it to fully set.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh berries if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
With this simple recipe, you can savor the incredible creaminess and rich flavor of a classic cheesecake while staying true to your keto lifestyle. So treat yourself to a slice of this heavenly delight, and enjoy guilt-free indulgence in every bite!
