  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 Electric Mixer
  • 1 Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 1 Springform Pan
  • 1 Rubber Spatula
  • 1 Oven

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix together almond flour, melted butter, and sweetener in a mixing bowl. Mix and continue mixing until well combined and spread the mixture over the base of a springform pan. Prebake at 325°F/160°C for about 10 minutes; remove from oven.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Mix softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add sweetener and continue mixing. Next incorporate (whip in), one at a time, the eggs into the batter, mixing lightly to avoid overwhipping. Add the vanilla extract and drizzle in the heavy cream, stirring until well combined.
  3. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour filling over the crust and spread out evenly. Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven for 50 minutes or until center is slightly jiggly.
  4. Cool and Chill: Let cool in the oven on the open door, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a creamier filling, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature.
  • Do not over-mix eggs, as they may crack.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper under the crust for easier extraction.
  • Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight for the best texture.
  • For more creaminess with this sugar free frosting: Powdered sweetener.
