Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
- For the Filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated erythritol or sweetener, adjusted to taste
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- Optional Toppings:
- Keto-friendly whipped cream
- Fresh berries (raspberries or strawberries)
- Sugar-free chocolate sauce or melted dark chocolate
Instructions
- Start by creating the crust. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder (if using), erythritol, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything until it resembles damp sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan, ensuring an even layer.
- Now, let’s move on to the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer. Gradually add in the erythritol, mixing well until it’s nicely combined. Then, throw in the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition to ensure everything’s well incorporated. You can also add the vanilla extract and lemon juice at this stage for extra flavor.
- Once your mixture is smooth and creamy, pour it over the crust in the springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to release any air bubbles trapped in the filling.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F. Adjust the temperature and time based on your air fryer model; some may require different settings. Once prepared, place the cheesecake into the air fryer basket. Cook it for about 25-30 minutes until the center is just set and has a slight jiggle.
- After cooking, turn off the air fryer and open the basket. Let the cheesecake cool for about 15-20 minutes before removing it from the basket. Then, transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for 2-3 hours.
- Once it’s chilled and firmly set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Top with your desired toppings, like keto whipped cream, sugar-free chocolate sauce, or fresh berries. Your delicious Air Fryer Keto Cheesecake is ready to serve!
