Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
Add 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1 large egg, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and the melted cheese mixture into a mixing bowl. Knead the ingredients together until a smooth dough forms.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the dough in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden.
Remove the crust from the oven and brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread 0.5 cup of sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the baked crust.
Sprinkle 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sauce. Distribute the 4 ounces of sliced biltong evenly over the cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with 0.25 cup of fresh basil leaves.
Cut the pizza into slices and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper before serving.
