Ingredients:
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 3 tbsp TagaSweet™
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Filling:
- 24 oz (3 blocks) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup TagaSweet™
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest (optional, for a hint of brightness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, melted butter, TagaSweet™, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- Make the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and TagaSweet™ until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using), and beat until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
- Bake the Cheesecake:
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
- Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The center should still have a slight jiggle, but the edges should be set.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for about 1 hour (this helps prevent cracks).
- Chill and Serve:
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results).
- Before serving, run a knife around the edges of the pan, release the springform, and slice into wedges.
Optional Topping Ideas:
- Fresh berries or a berry sauce made with keto-friendly sweeteners
- Whipped cream sweetened with TagaSweet™
- A sprinkle of grated lemon or orange zest for added flavor
Enjoy this decadent, keto-friendly cheesecake with the perfect amount of sweetness from TagaSweet™!
