5gNET CARBSNew York Style Cheesecake with Almond Crust
A tall, dense, tangy New York cheesecake on a buttery almond flour crust, sweetened with monk fruit.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated monk fruit sweetener
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 4 (8 oz) blocks full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
- 1 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan in foil and set a rimmed pan of hot water on the lowest rack for steam.
- Stir the almond flour, granulated sweetener, salt and melted butter until it looks like damp sand. Press firmly into the bottom of the springform pan.
- Bake the crust 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are light golden. Cool on a rack while you make the filling. Lower the oven to 325°F.
- Beat the cream cheese on medium-low speed for 2 minutes until completely smooth, scraping the bowl twice. Beat in the powdered sweetener until creamy.
- Mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla on low speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing only until each disappears. Overbeating adds air that causes cracks.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake on the middle rack 55 to 65 minutes, until the edges are set and the center 3 inches still jiggle like gelatin. The center should read about 150°F.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Run a thin knife around the edge, then cool on the counter 1 more hour.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight, before releasing the ring and slicing into 16 pieces.
