Notes

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions: Delicious Keto Cheesecake (Serves 4)

🥣 1. Prepare the Crust

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the crust ingredients:
    • In a bowl, combine:
      • 1 ½ cups almond flour
      • ¼ cup melted butter
      • 3 tbsp powdered erythritol
      • 1 tsp vanilla extract
      • A pinch of salt
    • Stir until the mixture resembles coarse, wet sand.
  3. Press the crust into the pan:
    • Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper.
    • Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  4. Bake the crust:
    • Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
    • Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

🍰 2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Beat the cream cheese:
    • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 3 cups of softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the sweetener:
    • Gradually add 1 cup of powdered erythritol and continue mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs:
    • Crack in 4 large eggs, one at a time.
    • Beat on low speed after each egg until just incorporated.
    • Avoid over-mixing to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  4. Add the flavoring:
    • Mix in:
      • 1 tsp vanilla extract
      • ¼ cup sour cream
      • 2 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for tanginess)
    • Blend until smooth and creamy.

🥄 3. Assemble and Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the filling over the crust:
    • Smooth the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake the cheesecake:
    • Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes.
    • The edges should be set, but the center will have a slight jiggle.
  3. Rest and cool:
    • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
    • This helps prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  4. Chill in the fridge:
    • Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) for the best texture and flavor.

🍓 4. Add Toppings and Serve

  1. Prepare the toppings:
    • Whip sugar-free heavy cream with a bit of powdered erythritol until fluffy.
    • Slice a few fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries).
  2. Decorate the cheesecake:
    • Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top.
    • Add berries and a few mint leaves for a pop of color.
    • Dust lightly with powdered erythritol for a professional touch.
  3. Serve and enjoy:
    • Slice the cheesecake into 4 even portions.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy your decadent, guilt-free keto dessert!

🍫 Optional Tips for Serving and Presentation

  • Chocolate drizzle: Melt sugar-free chocolate and lightly drizzle over each slice.
  • Berry compote: Simmer fresh berries with erythritol until thickened, then spoon over the cheesecake.
  • Nut crumble: Sprinkle toasted nuts or cacao nibs for added crunch.
