Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (fine blanched)
  • ¼ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened (full-fat is best for texture)
  • ¾ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or monk fruit sweetener blend
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder (optional, for thickening)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt. Mix until crumbs form and press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and let cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and erythritol until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Stir in vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice until well incorporated.
  3. Pour filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 45-55 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven, prop the door open, and let cool for 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, erythritol, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until berries break down and mixture thickens slightly. Cool completely.
  5. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to release the cheesecake and top it with the cooled berry mixture before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature. Do not overmix the filling. Bake gently to prevent cracking. Chill thoroughly for best texture. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
