Ingredients

Crust:


  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour

  • 1/4 cup Erythritol, powdered

  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, melted


Filling:


  • 500g Mascarpone, room temperature

  • 500g Topfen (Quark), room temperature

  • 1 cup Erythritol, powdered

  • 2g Stevia, concentrated

  • 5 large Eggs, room temperature

  • 226g [8 oz] Sour Cream, room temperature

  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract

  • 1/2 Lemon, juiced

How To Make

Crust:


  1. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix almond flour, powdered erythritol, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir until fully combined.

  2. Press and chill: Press the crust into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.

  3. Preheat the oven: Set it to 165°C (320°F) while you prepare the filling.


Filling:


  1. Beat the cheeses: In a large bowl, mix mascarpone and topfen until smooth and fluffy.

  2. Add sweeteners: Gradually beat in powdered erythritol and stevia in thirds using a hand mixer.

  3. Incorporate the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, blending fully after each addition.

  4. Finish the mix: Stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sour cream until creamy and well mixed.

  5. Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly.

  6. Bake the cheesecake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, checking at 50. The center should jiggle slightly and the top should look matte.

  7. Cool gradually: Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake rest inside for 30 minutes.

  8. Cool on the counter: Run a knife around the edges, then cool on the counter for one hour.

  9. Chill overnight: Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before slicing.

  10. Serve and garnish: Serve as is, or top with whipped cream or grated dark chocolate.
