Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Almond Crust
  • 1.5 cups almond flour or finely ground almonds
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar or honey adjust to taste
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 ounces full fat cream cheese softened
  • 0.5-0.75 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional but brightens the flavor
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix almond flour, sugar, and melted butter until it feels like damp sand.
  2. Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, packing it down firmly, then chill while making the filling.
  3. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cold cream until it holds soft peaks.
  5. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake filling into the chilled crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes

Chill overnight for the best texture. This cheesecake can be customized with fruit toppings or chocolate. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a deep pie dish.
