Ingredients
For the crust:
2 cups almond flour
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons monk fruit
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the filling:
32 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups monk fruit
3 eggs
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
For the topping:
1 cup strawberries, diced
1 cup strawberries, halved
1/2 cup sugar free strawberry jam
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, monk fruit and vanilla. Mix until combined, it should look like wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to flatten smoothly and get a crisp edge.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- For the filling – in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese and monk fruit. Cream until smooth.
- Add in the eggs and mix thoroughly on low speed, scraping down the sides often.
- Add in the lemon juice and vanilla and mix well, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Transfer the filling to the cooled crust. Spread evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes or until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Once at room temperature, chill in the fridge for an additional 4 hours.
- For the topping – in a small saucepan, combine the diced strawberries and strawberry jam.
- Heat over medium low for about 10 minutes or until the strawberries begin to break down and the topping begins to thicken.
- Add in the strawberry halves and heat for just about 2 minutes or until heated but not starting to break down.
- Chill in the fridge until ready to assemble.
- To assemble – pour the strawberry topping over the chilled cheesecake.
- Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
