Best Keto Cheesecake Recipe

I’ve made this Cheesecake before, however, I have since upgraded my photography skills. It was about time this recipe got some more thought and care on the decoration.

This Cheesecake recipe contains eggs, which give it a magnificent rising effect. This also gives it the ability to crack on the top, However, this is easily fixed with some cream and strawberries (or any other berries you so desire).

How To Prevent Cracking

Making sure you bake this keto cheesecake using a water bath is important, since the top can crack easily due to the rising and falling temperatures in the oven. Here I’ve wrapped some aluminium foil around the bottom so that while it’s sitting in the water, no water actually enters into the cake tin from below.

New York Baked Keto Cheesecake

Nobody likes recipes that require hundreds of different ingredients just to make it taste like “The Real Thing”.

On top of that, no one likes it when they have to buy all of those different ingredients, only to throw them away a week later because none of the other recipes required any of the same ingredients.

This keto cheesecake doesn’t try to replicate graham cracker crust. I make my own, and it’s better.

I’ve done the keto recipes that contain hundreds of different ingredients, and as much fun as they are to make and share with your friends, I’m not sure anyone would have actually made them…

Instructions

Base

  • In a large glass bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, erythritol and salt together until each of the ingredients are well combined.

  • This process has to be done quickly, otherwise, it will not work! – Cut the cold butter up into small chunks, and add it to the dry ingredients. Press the butter into the dry ingredients by using two forks. This can also be done in a food processor by pulsing the chunks of butter and dry ingredients for 20 – 30 seconds on high

  • In a 22cm (8.5") springform cake tin, line the bottom insert with baking paper, grease the inside with butter and press the base mixture into the bottom of the tin. I usually press it halfway up the sides as well.

  • Place the tin in the fridge to allow the base to set. Preheat your oven to 140 degrees C (280 F) if fan forced, otherwise 160 degrees (320 F).

Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon zest and erythritol. Mix until well combined.

  • As the mixture begins to thicken slightly, add the first egg and continue to mix. Add in the rest of the eggs one at a time, and continue to mix.

  • Take the base out of the fridge, poke holes in the bottom of the base with a fork, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes until slightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly. Wrap the bottom of the tin in aluminium foil.

  • Using a seive, pour the cream cheese filling through into the base (this helps remove any large clumps that might spoil the cheesecake). Put the cheesecake into the oven and bake in a large baking sheet filled with water (otherwise known as a water bath). Alternatively, you can place 2 ramekins filled with water right next to the cheesecake. Bake for 50 minutes.

  • Check the cheesecake by pushing a spike into the middle. If it comes out clean then the cake is ready.

  • Turn the oven off, and leave the oven slight open for another 30 mins to cool the cheesecake slowly. (this stops the top from cracking) Remove from the oven and let it come to room temperature before placing in the fridge for 4 hours to set. Keeps up to 5 days in and airtight container in the fridge.

    Very good recipe. I made it just as you said – with the addition of 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice to the batter – and it was perfect. Thanks!

    Erithrotyl messes with my digestive system, could I use monk fruit instead? If so is it same amount? I don’t officially do keto but do avoid gluten and sugar

    • FatForWeightLoss says

      Hi Sami – this will depend as monkfruit comes in many different forms (liquid, powder, blends etc). What form are you using?

    I have a question: if we double this recipe to make a larger cake, would that alter the cooking time?
    Thanks, Gabi

    • FatForWeightLoss says

      Hi Gabi, sorry for the late response! Yes, generally I’d cook for an extra 10 minutes, but check it at the final time first with a skewer to see if it’s done, then add 5 minutes each time until done. Hope you’re doing well 🙂
