Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 4 tbsp Butter, melted
- 1/4 cup Granular Sweetener
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 16 oz Cream Cheese, full-fat softened
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream, full-fat
- 1.5 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Granular Sweetener
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Strawberries, frozen whole
- 1/4 cup Granular Sweetener
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the crust by mixing all of the crust ingredients in a food processor or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the crust to a foil-wrapped springform pan and press it evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Bake the crust for 7 minutes.
- Add all of the cheesecake batter ingredients (except the eggs) to a stand mixer and mix on medium, adding 1 egg at a time.
- Add water to the bottom of a baking sheet for a water bath and place the cheesecake in it.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the outside is firm and the center wobbles like custard.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to sit for 15 minutes.
- Cool completely before refrigerating overnight.
- For the strawberry sauce, cook strawberries, lemon juice, and sweetener in a saucepan until strawberries defrost.
- Add Xanthan gum (mixed with neutral oil) and cook until a syrup forms, then cool.
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top with strawberry sauce before slicing.
Notes
- Wrap the springform pan with foil to prevent leaks.
- Pre-cook the crust for 7 minutes to avoid sogginess.
- Use a water bath for the cake batter to prevent drying.
- Check for doneness after 45 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Mix Xanthan gum with neutral oil to prevent clumping.
