Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup powdered sweetener I used swerve
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted

Filling

  • 32 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • 2 cup powdered sweetener
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and prepare an 8-inch springform by spraying generously with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a large food processor, add the almond flour, powdered sweetener, cinnamon, and melted butter. Pulse until well combined and smooth.
  • Pack into the bottom of the springform pan by using your hand or a spoon to form the crust.
  • Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese on high speed for 4-5 minutes until smooth and there are no lumps remaining. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl often.
  • Add the sweetener about ½ cup at a time and mix until well combined.
  • Add in the sour cream and vanilla and mix well. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix additionally if needed.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and smooth.
  • Bake on 350 for 15 minutes, then without opening the door, reduce the heat to 200 degrees and bake for an additional 50-55 minutes or until the sides of the cheesecake are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and crack the oven door to allow the cheesecake to cool for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
  • After the cheesecake is cool, refrigerate for at least 8 hours but overnight is best.
  • Top with your favorite toppings and serve!
  • Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
