Calories 400kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon erythritol
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (depends on your liking)
Instructions
- Making The Crust for Cake #1To make the crust for the first cake, melt butter and combine it with almond flour, vanilla, xanthan gum and sweetener.
- Mix well.
- Cover your form with parchment paper and distribute crust mix on the bottom of your form.
- Poke it with a fork.
- Bake 10-15 min in a preheated 300F oven then remove and set aside.
- Making The Filling for Both CakesFor the filling: In a bowl combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, sweetener, vanilla and lemon juice.
- Mix it well with a mixer.
- Add eggs one at a time and blend till fully incorporated.
- Add lemon zest and xanthan gum, mix well.
- Pour 1/3 of the filling on top of the crust to make the first cakePour 2/3 of the filling in the second form to make the second crustless cake.
- Baking Both CakesTo bake a cheesecake, you would need a pan/form bigger than the one you are using for the cake, Ex: roast pan.
- Cover bottom of your cake form with foil and put it inside a bigger form filled with boiled water till it reached the middle of the cake form.
- This way the sides will not get burned, and cake is evenly cooked and comes out creamy.
- If this method is too complicated for you, just simply bake the cake the way you would normally do it.Put it in a preheated 300F oven.
- Bake it till edges are set, the middle might be a bit jiggly.Take it out and let it cool then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- It’s better to keep it in a fridge overnight to let it fully set.
- Decorate to your liking.
