Instructions
Crust:
-
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
-
Press evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch square pan and bake 10 minutes – it won’t be cooked through. Set aside and let cool.
-
Reduce the oven temperature to 275F.
Lemon Cheesecake Filling:
-
Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in the sweetener, and then beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and cream until no lumps remain.
-
Beat in the eggs until just combined – do not overbeat as this can cause cracking.
-
Spread the filling over cooled crust and bake 35 to 45 minutes, or until filling is just set and the center barely jiggles when shaken.
-
Let cool 30 minutes, then chill for at least 2 hours.
-
Garnish with powdered sweetener and additional lemon zest, if desired.
