Keto Cheesecake Crust Food

KETO CHEESECAKE CRUST

Steps:

• Chop your pecans finely with a knife or a nut chopper like this one and add them to a medium size mixing bowl.
• Then mix in 1/3 cup of monk fruit for keto, (or regular sugar), and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
• Add in your melted butter and mix until well combined.
• After it is all mixed together, pour the mixture into a greased 6" springform pan and press it into the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
• Or pour it into a 9" springform pan and it'll be the right amount to press into the bottom.
• Then bake the crust for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
• After baking it is ready for the cheesecake filling of your choice. Whether that be a low carb cheesecake filling or just a regular cheesecake filling.

KETO CHEESECAKE RECIPE (LOW CARB SUGAR-FREE CHEESECAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
• To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly.
• Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.)
• Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use an icing spatula for a smoother top if you have one). If you want to ensure no air bubbles, tap the pan on the counter several times.
• Bake for about 40-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don't remove the springform edge yet). Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.)
