Keto Cheesecake Crust Recipes

KETO CHEESECAKE CRUST

Steps:

• Chop your pecans finely with a knife or a nut chopper like this one and add them to a medium size mixing bowl.
• Then mix in 1/3 cup of monk fruit for keto, (or regular sugar), and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
• Add in your melted butter and mix until well combined.
• After it is all mixed together, pour the mixture into a greased 6" springform pan and press it into the bottom of the pan and up the sides.
• Or pour it into a 9" springform pan and it'll be the right amount to press into the bottom.
• Then bake the crust for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
• After baking it is ready for the cheesecake filling of your choice. Whether that be a low carb cheesecake filling or just a regular cheesecake filling.

KETO CHEESECAKE RECIPE (LOW CARB SUGAR-FREE CHEESECAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
• To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly.
• Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
• Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.)
• Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use an icing spatula for a smoother top if you have one). If you want to ensure no air bubbles, tap the pan on the counter several times.
• Bake for about 40-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly.
• Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don't remove the springform edge yet). Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.)

KETO PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH ALMOND PECAN CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pulse almonds and pecans together in a food processor until ground, but not paste-like. Add sweetener and butter; pulse to combine. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Blend cream cheese and 2/3 cup sweetener in food processor or with an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in pumpkin, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth, about 2 minutes more. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just set in the center, or when the filling jiggles but does not run, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours, until ready to serve.
