  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup Swerve confectioners
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 egg

Cheesecake Filling Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 12 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 erythritol, granulated
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice I used fresh.
  • 1/2 zest from 1 lemon

Instructions

Crust Instructions

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl together first, and then add melted butter and coconut oil to that mix and stir to incorporate well. Lastly, add the egg and combine well.  Use this mixture to press into the bottom of a 9x9 Pyrex baking dish. Make sure the crust mixture is evenly pressed into the dish and is consistent thickness so that it will bake evenly.  Bake for 325 degrees in a pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes. Longer if you like a more crisp crust.

Cheesecake Filling Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to mixer bowl and mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. The filling will begin to look smooth and creamy when mixed enough. When the crust that you just put in the oven is done baking, pour this cheesecake filling mixture into the 9x9 baking dish on top of the crust and add the Streusel Topping (recipe below) to the top of the cheesecake filling. Then bake in a preheated oven 325 degrees for 45 minutes.

Streusel Topping Instructions

  1. Mix the almond flour and Swerve sweetener together well, then add the lemon zest and melted butter and stir well. After it’s mixed well, use your hands to crumble the mixture over the top of the cheesecake (and then bake).

Garnish

  1. Garnish with half a lemon slice and serve. It’s a nice garnish not only to make it look pretty, but it also lets the person you are serving it to the ability to add a fresh squeeze of lemon juice for a little extra pizazz!
