Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour
- ¼ cup (50g) erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) erythritol
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream (full-fat)
- Optional toppings: fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries, chopped nuts, sugar-free whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for baking the crust and dessert.
- Make the crust: Combine almond flour, erythritol, salt, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with erythritol using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Slowly add heavy whipping cream and mix on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles when nudged.
- Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature for an hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set and develop flavors.
- Serve: Slice with a warm knife (dip in hot water and wipe dry between cuts for clean slices). Garnish with fresh berries or chopped nuts if desired.
Notes
Avoid overbaking to prevent cracks; the center should be slightly wobbly when done. Use softened cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. For a silkier texture, fold in whipped cream at the end instead of mixing. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices wrapped in parchment and foil.
