Keto Basque Cheesecake
Rich, creamy, and naturally crustless, this keto burnt Basque cheesecake is low carb, sugar free, gluten free, and incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup allulose sweetener
- 1/16 tsp monk fruit extract or a tiny pinch
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp blanched almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 425°F. Grease or line a 7-inch springform pan with parchment. Place pan on a baking sheet.
- Beat cream cheese and sweetener: Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and allulose until smooth. Add monk fruit extract to taste.
- Add eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing until combined.
- Mix in remaining ingredients: Add heavy cream, vanilla, salt, and almond flour. Mix until smooth. Tap bowl on counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake: Pour into prepared pan. Bake 35–45 minutes — less time for a creamier texture, more time for a firmer/fluffier texture.
- Cool and chill: Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Remove the sides of the springform, slice, and serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
- Texture control: Bake 35 minutes for a softer, custard-like center; bake 45 minutes for a firmer, fluffier cheesecake.
- Sweetener: Allulose is recommended for the best texture and caramelization on top.
- Monk fruit extract: Liquid or powdered extract can be used. Mine is a powder that comes with a tiny scoop equivalent to about 1/16 tsp. If using liquid, a few drops will be perfect.
- Flour: Almond flour can be replaced with regular flour, or omitted if needed.
- Oven temperature: If your oven tends to run hot or cook things more quickly, you can feel free to set the oven temp to 400°F instead of 425°F.
- Make ahead: Can be made a day in advance; flavor and texture improve after chilling overnight.
- Serving suggestions: Delicious topped with fresh berries and/or sugar free whipped cream.
