Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 2 tbsp erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • A pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup almond butter (unsweetened, smooth)
  • ½ cup erythritol
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Optional Topping:

  • Melted almond butter drizzle
  • Crushed roasted almonds

Instructions

  • Prep the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and salt until it looks like wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then let cool.
  • Make the Filling: Beat softened cream cheese and almond butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add erythritol and mix well. Beat in eggs one at a time on low speed. Stir in vanilla and heavy cream until the mixture is thick and creamy.
  • Assemble & Bake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  • Cool & Chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for an hour. Remove, let cool completely, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Drizzle melted almond butter on top and sprinkle with crushed almonds if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can freeze individual slices for later. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.
  • For a different flavor, try swapping almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.
