Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.333 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons granular erythritol (for crust)
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup granular erythritol (for filling)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1.5 cups frozen pitted cherries
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.25 cup granular erythritol (for topping)
• 0.25 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of erythritol. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup erythritol. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract, room temperature eggs, sour cream, and lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.

Step 7

Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.

Step 9

Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 10

For the cherry topping, combine the frozen cherries, water, 1/4 cup erythritol, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 11

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 10 minutes, until the cherries are tender.

Step 12

In a small bowl, stir together the xanthan gum and lemon juice. Add this mixture to the cherries and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.

Step 13

Remove the cherry topping from the heat and let it cool completely.

Step 14

Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, spread the cherry topping evenly over the top.

Step 15

Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Keto Classic Cheesecake with Cherry Topping.
