========= Equipment ========= 10 inch Springform Pan =========== Ingredients =========== For the crust: • 1 1/2 Cups almond flour (click here to see my favorite on Amazon) • 1/4 Cup Confectioners Swerve (or other Powdered Sweetener) • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (I up this to 2tsp) • 6 Tablespoons Butter, melted For the filling: • 6 Packages 8 ounces full fat cream cheese, room temperature • 2 Cups Confectioners swerve (or other Powdered Sweetener) • 5 Large Eggs room temperature • 8 Ounces Sour Cream room temperature • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract ============ Instructions ============ • Pre-heat oven to 325F. Adjust the rack to the middle of the oven. • Combine the crust dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix in the butter. • Pour the crust mixture into a 10 inch x 4 inch springform pan and press halfway up the sides using your fingers. • Use a flat bottomed cup to press the mixture into the bottom. • Refrigerate the crust for 20 minutes. • In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. If you use a stand mixer use the paddle attachment. • Add in the sweetener a little at a time (about ⅓) and beat with the hand mixer. • Add in the room temperature eggs one at a time and beat until well incorporated. • Finally, add in the vanilla and room temperature sour cream and beat until just incorporated. • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust and even out the top. Bake in the pre-heated oven. Check after 50 minutes. The top should no longer be glossy and the center should still be jiggly. • Turn off the oven and crack the door. Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven run a sharp paring knife between the cheesecake and the pan (this is to ensure the cake doesn't stick. Do not remove the springform). Let sit on the counter for 1 hour. • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. • Remove the springform pan sides, decorate the top, and serve. Makes 12 slices.
