Keto Coffee Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons Swerve or your preferred sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- For the Filling:
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered erythritol or your favorite sugar substitute
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, Swerve sweetener, and salt. Mix until crumbly and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to form a crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered erythritol until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly add the heavy cream and cooled coffee to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to fully set.
- Once set, slice and serve your delicious Keto Coffee Cheesecake!
Tips for Success
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- This cheesecake can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week—perfect for leftovers!
- If you prefer a firmer cheesecake, you can add an extra egg for more structure.
