This cheesecake is exceptionally rich and creamy, and can be prepared in just one hour and forty-five minutes. Ingredients like sour cream, vanilla extract, butter, and egg whites enhance its delicious flavor.
Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake:
- 4 (8 oz) packages of softened cream cheese
- 1 cup granulated erythritol or another keto-friendly sweetener
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for a touch of flavor)
For the Topping (optional):
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp powdered erythritol
- Fresh berries or keto-friendly fruit for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) to preheat.
Prepare the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy. Slowly add the erythritol, continuing to beat until it’s completely mixed in. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) until the mixture is smooth.
Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. Turn off the oven and slightly crack the oven door. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to help prevent cracking.
Chill: Take the cheesecake out of the oven and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results, to let it fully set.
Prepare the Topping (if using): Whip the heavy cream with powdered erythritol until soft peaks form using a hand or stand mixer. Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the chilled cheesecake.
Garnish and Serve: Add fresh berries or keto-friendly fruit as desired. Slice and enjoy!
