Description
A delicious and guilt-free Keto New York Cheesecake that satisfies your sweet tooth while keeping it low-carb.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup almond flour (for crust)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (for crust)
- 1 tablespoon erythritol (for crust)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of erythritol. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the erythritol and continue to mix until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
- Fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- For a chocolate version, add 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter.
- For a fruit topping, consider using a low-carb berry sauce made with fresh berries and erythritol.
