Gather Your Guilt-Free Goodies
Before we embark on this culinary adventure, let’s gather our all-star, sugar-free ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
For the Strawberry Topping:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crafting Your Cheesecake Masterpiece: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. The Crust: A Foundation of Flavor
- In a food processor, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, and sea salt. Pulse until well combined.
- Drizzle in the melted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crust mixture into an even layer on the bottom of a springform pan.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
2. The Filling: Creamy, Dreamy, and Sugar-Free
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered erythritol, beating until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
3. Assembling Your Culinary Symphony
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
4. The Grand Finale: A Strawberry Serenade
- Just before serving, prepare the strawberry topping. Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar-free strawberry jam, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
- Let the strawberry topping cool slightly before spooning it over the chilled cheesecake.
