Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups almond flour

• ¼ cup cocoa powder

• ⅓ cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)

• 5 tbsp melted butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:

• 24 oz (3 blocks) cream cheese, softened

• ¾ cup powdered keto sweetener

• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• ½ cup sour cream

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 4 oz melted sugar-free chocolate

For the Chocolate Ganache (Optional but Recommended!):

• ½ cup heavy cream

• 3 oz sugar-free chocolate, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. In a bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.

3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.

4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

2. Add the powdered sweetener and cocoa powder, and mix until well combined.

3. Blend in the sour cream and vanilla extract.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid overbeating.

5. Fold in the melted chocolate until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Bake the Cheesecake

1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

2. Place the springform pan in a larger pan filled with 1 inch of hot water (a water bath helps prevent cracks).

3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but set.

4. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour.

5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before serving.

4. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache (Optional)

1. Heat the heavy cream until warm (but not boiling).

2. Pour over chopped sugar-free chocolate and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.

3. Spread the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and let set before slicing.

Tips for the Perfect Keto Cheesecake

✔ Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: This helps everything mix smoothly and prevents lumps.
✔ Don’t Overmix the Eggs: Overbeating adds air, which can cause cracks in your cheesecake.
✔ Chill for the Best Texture: Patience is key—overnight chilling gives you the creamiest result.

Serving Suggestions

This cheesecake is delicious on its own, but you can top it with:

• Sugar-free Whipped cream
