Servings: 8
Cost: $6.55, $0.82 per Serving
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Butter melted
- 2 Tablespoons Monk Fruit Sweetener
For the Filling:
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese
- ¼ Cup Sour Cream
- ¼ Cup Cream Cheese
- 4 Tablespoons Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 2 Eggs room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 6-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the almond flour, melted butter, and monk fruit sweetener until well combined.
- Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool while preparing the filling.
- Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and monk fruit sweetener to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs and blend just until combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve with berries and whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Cover and refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.
- Adjust the monk fruit sweetener in the filling to taste. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more as desired, up to 4 tablespoons. Taste the filling before adding the raw eggs.
- For the smoothest cheesecake filling, blend the cottage cheese until no curds remain.
- Bring the cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and eggs to room temperature before mixing for the best texture.
- Avoid overmixing after adding the eggs.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill completely before slicing for clean, even slices.
