Ingredients
 

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol or any preferred sugar substitute
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled (plus more for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol adjust to taste, and based on the sweetness of the strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  • Combine Crust Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Make the Strawberry Puree:

  • Blend Strawberries: In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries with lemon juice and erythritol until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  • Set the Gelatin: Add the dissolved gelatin to the strawberry puree and blend again to combine. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling:

  • Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
  • Mix the Cream Cheese: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. Then, gradually fold in the strawberry puree mixture until the filling is uniform in color.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Fill the Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill overnight.

Serve:

  • Garnish: Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with fresh strawberry slices or whole strawberries.
  • Enjoy: Slice and serve the cheesecake cold, straight from the refrigerator.
