Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 32 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 units Large eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and 3 tablespoons of sugar, then add the melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create an even layer for the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually add 1 1/4 cups of sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 8

Add the sour cream and gluten-free flour, and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 9

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still has a slight jiggle.

Step 11

Turn off the oven, crack the oven door open gently, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 12

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen it. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature.

Step 13

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Step 14

Remove the springform pan collar, slice, and enjoy your gluten-free classic cheesecake.
