Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup erythritol
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered erythritol
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour and 1/4 cup erythritol. Pour in melted butter and mix until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered erythritol until combined.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
For a smoother crust, pulse almond flour and erythritol in a food processor before adding butter.
Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a creamy filling.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent cracking.
Serve chilled with sugar-free berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
