No Bake Cheesecake (keto + low carb
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1/3 cup melted butter
For the filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered erythritol (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions:
For the crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered erythritol.
- Pour in the melted butter and mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to help compact it.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
For the filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract. Beat again until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until everything is well incorporated.
Assembling the cheesecake:
- Take the springform pan with the crust from the refrigerator.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese filling over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set.
Optional: Before serving, you can add toppings such as fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries) or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce.
