Servings: 6 People
Calories: 787kcal
Equipment
- 6" Springform pan
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup Pecan flour / meal
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar Substitute
Cheesecake
- 1 lb Cream Cheese room temperature
- ⅔ cup Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 2 tablespoon Sour cream
- 2 eggs room temperature & lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Carefully wrap the outside of a 6" Springform pan with aluminum foil, making sure it’s completely sealed off.
- In a small bowl, mix crust ingredients: Pecan flour, butter, and sugar substitute.
- Press into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake crust for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, turn over temp down to 325 F.
Cheesecake
- Cream the cream cheese and sugar substitute together until smooth.
- Add sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract and lemon juice, beat just until smooth. DO NOT overbeat!
- Pour cheesecake batter into the prepared crust.
- Place prepared cheesecake in a larger pan - 8x8 or 9x13.
- Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan, aiming for it to come halfway up the height of the springform pan.
- Carefully transfer the whole thing to the 325 F oven.
- Bake for 65 minutes, or until the center is mostly set - it’ll wiggle a little if shaken, but shouldn’t be liquid.
- Once the cake is fully cooked, remove from the oven, and remove the springform pan from the water bath.
- Run a butter knife along the inside of the pan to loosen the crust from the pan, then allow to cool to room temperature.
- Transfer cheesecake to fridge, chill for at least 6 hours - ideally overnight.
Notes
Note: 31.25 grams of carbs per serving come from the sugar alcohols in the erthyritol.
Add this to the 3 grams of fiber, and you're at 34.25 grams to be educated from the total of 40 - so less than 6 grams net carbs per GIANT serving.
If you're serving 4 people with this (it's really 4-6 servings), you're looking at less than 6 grams net carbs per serving.
