Ingredients

• 400 grams Cream cheese
• 100 grams Greek yogurt (full-fat)
• 100 grams Erythritol
• 3 large Eggs
• 125 milliliters Heavy cream
• 30 grams Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring it extends about 2 inches above the pan edges.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and erythritol. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the Greek yogurt and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Introduce the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until all ingredients are well blended.

Step 6

Sift in the almond flour and add the salt. Carefully fold them into the mixture with a spatula until fully combined.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is dark brown and the center is still slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Step 10

Remove from the pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy your heart-healthy Keto Basque Cheesecake!
