Low Carb Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake Recipes

KETO RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Combine almond flour, butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until crust mixture has turned into pea-sized crumbs that stick together when squeezed. Transfer mixture to the prepared springform pan and press into a crust covering the entire bottom of the pan in an even layer.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges start to crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine cream cheese and powdered sweetener in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium speed until smooth and completely combined. Scrape down sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add eggs one at a time to the bowl while mixer is running and beat for 1 minute after each addition until the mixture is light and resembles a thick batter. Beat in lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour batter onto the prebaked crust in the springform pan and smooth out the top. Wrap the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
• Set aside a handful of raspberries for garnish. Clean food processor and combine remaining raspberries and sweetener in the clean bowl. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Strain raspberry mixture through a mesh strainer into a bowl to filter out seeds. Discard seeds. Using a spoon add dollops of raspberry puree onto the cheesecake batter in the pan. Lightly drag a knife or a toothpick through the puree to create a decorative pattern.
• Bake cake on the center rack of the hot oven until sides of the cheesecake are firm and only 2 to 3 inches in the center remain slightly jiggly if you shake the pan, about 75 minutes.
• Remove cheesecake from oven and run a knife around the inside edge of the pan. Leave cheesecake in the pan and cool on a wire rack until room temperature. Lightly wrap cheesecake, still in pan, and chill in the refrigerator until firm, 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
• To remove from pan, gently run a sharp knife between cheesecake and ring of springform pan. Unlatch pan and lift ring off cheesecake, leaving pan bottom in place to serve. Top with reserved berries and any remaining puree.

• TO MAKE CHEESECAKE:.
• After pre-baking the crust, decrease oven temperature to 275 - 300 degrees F. Place a pan of water on the lowest oven rack and spritz the top and sides of the oven with water.
• Gather all ingredients to quickly make the filling after melting the chocolate.
• Melt chocolate with cream in a small sauce pan on low heat, stirring frequently. Set aside while you make the filling.
• Beat cream cheese until fluffy on low speed. Beat eggs in, one at a time (do not overbeat). Incorporate vanilla, orange juice and zest, liquor, and melted chocolate. Finally, beat in the flour on the lowest speed of your mixer.
• Pour into prepared pan and drag a butter knife in repeated "S" shapes into the batter to lift air bubbles to the surface. Sprinkle the chocolate chip on top.
• Bake for about 1 - 1.5 hours (varies with oven temperatures), watching very closely without opening the oven door. Turn off oven when the sides look firm and the center is still wobbly. Run a knife under hot water and carefully drag around the cheesecape to loosen the sides from the pan. Leave in the oven with the door slightly propped open until the pan is cool, and then transfer to the refrigerator. Flavors peak after about 24-36 hours of refrigeration.
• After the cheesecake is cool, whip the cream, adding powdered sugar as necessary to sweeten. Using a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip, pipe the whipped cream in "stars" around the edges of the cake.
