Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) powdered erythritol or your preferred keto sweetener
  • 6 tbsp (85g) melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Filling:

  • 24 oz (680g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240g) full-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 3/4 cup (150g) powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
    • Combine almond flour, powdered sweetener, melted butter, and salt in a mixing bowl.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
    • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
    • Add Greek yogurt or sour cream, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Mix until fully incorporated.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  3. Assemble and Bake:
    • Pour the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
    • Optional: Place a baking dish filled with hot water on the rack below the cheesecake to create steam.
    • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  4. Cool and Chill:
    • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
    • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, for the best flavor and texture.
  5. Serve:
    • Run a knife around the edges of the pan before releasing the springform.
    • Slice and serve with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
