Equipment
- 9x9-inch Baking Dish
- Parchment Paper
- Hand Mixer
- Mixing Bowls
- Offset Spatula
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup monk fruit or allulose sweetener
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 whole egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cheesecake Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup monk fruit or allulose sweetener
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Lemon Layer
- 1 batch Keto Lemon Curd chilled (your favorite recipe)
For the Whipped Topping
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup monk fruit or allulose sweetener
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- First, get your Keto Lemon Curd ready and pop it in the fridge to cool down while you prepare the crust.
To Make the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine the almond flour, sweetener, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until it's well combined.
- Press this mixture evenly into a 9x9-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper – this makes lifting it out super easy!
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool completely at room temperature before moving on.
To Make the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until it's light and fluffy.
- Add the sour cream, heavy cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Once the crust is cool, gently spread the cheesecake mixture over it using an offset spatula. Place it in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour, allowing it to firm up a bit.
To Make the Lemon Layer:
- Carefully spread the cooled lemon curd evenly over the chilled cheesecake layer.
- Return it to the fridge for another hour, or until this layer is firm enough to add the whipped topping without mixing.
To Make the Whipped Topping:
- Pour the cold heavy cream into a chilled mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. (A cold bowl helps a lot!)
- While the mixer is still running, slowly add the sweetener and vanilla extract. Once you have stiff peaks, add the softened cream cheese and mix just until smooth.
- Spread the whipped cream over the lemon layer. You can make it smooth or create a fancy design.
- Chill the entire dessert in the fridge for at least 4 hours, though overnight is best for perfectly set layers. Patience is key for this beautiful dessert!
