How to Make Keto Cheesecake

Ingredients

For the crust

• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 6 tbsp butter, melted
• ¼ cup sweetener, powdered

For the filling

• 6 packets × 8 oz cream cheese, full fat & room temperature
• 8 oz sour cream
• 2 cups sweetener, powdered
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 5 eggs, large
• 1 tsp lemon zest, grated

Method of Preparation

Preheat the oven to 160 ◦ C or 375 ◦ F.

After that, combine almond flour, cinnamon, sweetener, and butter in a large mixing bowl.

Once mixed well, spoon in the butter and mix until you get a crumbly dough.

Now, transfer the dough to a greased baking pan and spread it across evenly. You need to press them halfway up the sides with the aid of your fingers.

Then, place a cup over the base and flatten it. Keep the baking pan in the refrigerator for at least 25 minutes or until set. Tip: You can even bake the crust if desired.

Next, take another large bowl and add the cream cheese to it. Whisk it with an electric beater on medium heat until it becomes fluffy and light.

Spoon in the sweetener bit by bit and continue beating until it is dissolved.

To this, add the eggs one at a time to the mix, beating well after each addition.

When everything comes together, stir in the vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream until just combined. Scrape the sides and combine well.  

Finally, pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust and smoothen the top with a spatula.

Place the pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake it for 45 to 50 minutes or until cooked. Tip: At this point, the top should be set while the center still jiggles. Make sure not to get the filling overcooked.

Allow the pan to cool in the oven for at least 30 minutes. The oven door should be slightly open so that it doesn’t dry out and creates cracks on the crust. With the help of a sharp knife, run it across the cheesecake and pan.

Cover the pan with a cling wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 8 hours.

Garnish with your choice of toppings and serve it cold.
