A delightful keto-friendly cheesecake with a creamy filling and a nutty crust, perfect for health-conscious dessert lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 0.25 cups melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, unsweetened
  • 0.75 cups erythritol
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil (or butter), 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture has a crumbly yet cohesive texture. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Bake for about 12 minutes or until lightly golden.
  2. While the crust is baking, grab a large mixing bowl. Beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Then, add in the Greek yogurt, 0.75 cups of erythritol, the juice of the lemons, the lemon zest, and the remaining vanilla extract. Mix well until it’s fully combined and smooth.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one by one, making sure each is well-blended before adding the next. Once the filling is light and fluffy, pour it over the baked crust. Spread it out evenly and place it back in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until set and just slightly jiggling in the center.
  4. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan at room temperature for about an hour. Once cooled, cover it and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set beautifully.
  5. When ready to serve, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake into portions, and if desired, garnish with a little extra lemon zest or sugar-free whipped cream. Enjoy every bite of this delightful treat!

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest texture and consider using a water bath to prevent cracking.
