- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan in an even layer.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup powdered erythritol until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp powdered erythritol and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the center is almost set. The edges should be slightly golden.
- Turn off the oven, crack open the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
