Keto Cheesecake with Chocolate Drizzle
Ingredients
Almond Flour Cheesecake Crust
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1/3 cup Butter (measured solid, then melted)
- 3 Tbsp Stevia (granular or powdered works fine)
- 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
Keto Cheesecake Filling
- 24-32 oz cream cheese (softened). If you want a thicker cheesecake use 32 oz of cream cheese.
- 1 1/4 cup powdered stevia
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/4 cup 72% cocao chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
Directions
Almond flour crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 in springform pan (or you can line the bottom with parchment paper).
- To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, stevia and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden.
- Let cool at least 10 minutes.
Keto Cheesecake filling:
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles)
- Pour the filling into the pan over the crust.
- Bake for about 45-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don't remove the springform edge yet).
- Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours , until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.)
Chocolate Drizzle:
- Heat the chips and the coconut oil in the microwave at 30 second intervals
- Drizzle over the cheesecake after it has been removed from the springform pan.
Enjoy!
