Ingredients

Cheesecake:


  • 2.2 lb (1 kg) White Cheese, (full-fat cream cheese or well-drained farmer’s cheese)

  • ¾ cup (150g) Erythritol

  • 10 (500g) Eggs

  • ¾ cup (200g) Unsalted Butter, melted

  • 2 Tablespoons (15g) Coconut Flour

  • 2 Tablespoons (14g) Almond Flour

  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

  • Zest of 1 Lemon, finely grated


Chocolate Icing:


  • 5.3 oz (150g) 85% Dark Chocolate

  • ⅔ cup (150ml) Whipping Cream

  • 1 Tablespoon Erythritol

  • a handful of Pecans, chopped

How To Make

  1. Preheat the oven: Set to 150°C (300°F), using hot air (convection) only.

  2. Prepare the base: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with erythritol until smooth. Add the melted butter, vanilla, and lemon zest. Mix in the white cheese (cream cheese or farmer’s cheese) until fully incorporated.

  3. Add the flours: Fold in coconut flour and almond flour. Mix until a thick, creamy batter forms.

  4. Bake the cheesecake: Pour the batter into a parchment-lined or greased 26 cm (10-inch) springform pan. Bake for 100 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking.

  5. Cool slowly: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool gradually. This prevents sinking and cracking.

  6. Make the icing: In a saucepan over low heat, combine cream and erythritol. Add chopped chocolate and stir until melted and glossy.

  7. Finish the cake: Once the cheesecake is fully cooled, pour the warm icing over the top and spread evenly.

  8. Add the pecans: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the iced cake while the topping is still soft.

  9. Chill before serving: Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours to set completely.
