Ingredients
  

For the crust:
  • cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 3 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener
For the filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup keto sweetener (erythritol/monk fruit)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 8 oz sugar-free dark chocolate (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For topping (optional):
  • Sugar-free whipped cream
  • Shaved dark chocolate
  • Fresh berries

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 1 Springform Pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Make the crust: In a bowl mix together almond flour, cocoa powder, melted butter, and sweetener until crumbly. Press out evenly onto the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
  2. Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese and sweetener together until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until combined, being careful not to overbeat. Gently mix in sour cream, vanilla, and melted sugar-free chocolate. Blend until creamy.
  3. To bake the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 50–55 minutes, until set at the edges but with a slight jiggle in the centre.
  4. Cool, then chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving with whipped cream or berries.

Notes

  • Filling To help deliver a smooth filling, the cream cheese should be at room temperature.
  • After adding eggs, don’t over-mix, or it will crack.
  • It’s easier to remove your cake if you line the springform with a parchment paper.
  • Make sure to chill thoroughly for best texture.
  • Throw on the toppings at the last minute for maximum freshness.
