Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup granulated erythritol
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, 2 tablespoons erythritol, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream and ½ cup erythritol, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly distributed.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of bourbon or whiskey to the filling.
- You can also top the cheesecake with whipped cream and additional chopped pecans for extra texture and flavor.
