Ingredients You’ll Need
To make your No Bake Keto Cheesecake, gather the following ingredients:
- 1.5 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (for the crust)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 16 oz full-fat block cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered erythritol (for the filling)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Feel free to substitute the erythritol with your preferred sweetener if you wish!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blanched almond flour, 1/4 cup powdered erythritol, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix until your crumbly dough forms.
- Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and about 0.5 inches up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup powdered erythritol on medium-high speed until the texture becomes smooth and aerated.
- Incorporate the sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, and continue beating until there are no lumps.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks are formed.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese base in three stages, being careful to maintain its volume.
- Pour the filling onto the prepared crust and level the top with an offset spatula.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 6 hours, or until the filling is firm to the touch.
- To serve, carefully run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to ease release before slicing.
