Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (for filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/2 cup guava puree (fresh or canned)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the erythritol, mixing until well incorporated.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, guava puree, and lemon juice until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
- Consider swirling in some additional guava puree on top of the cheesecake before baking for added flavor.
