Equipment
- 9-inch springform pan
- Food processor
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups almond flour 150g
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted 76g
- 3 tbsp erythritol 36g
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
Filling
- 2 medium avocados, peeled and pitted about 300g total
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened 450g
- ½ cup erythritol 100g
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice 60ml
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream 120ml
Instructions
- Begin by making the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it is even and compact. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.
- For the filling, place the peeled and pitted avocados in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add the softened cream cheese, erythritol, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract to the avocado. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the avocado mixture until well combined.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once set, release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in your cheesecake filling.
The erythritol can be substituted with another keto-friendly sweetener. Adjust to taste.
If you're not a fan of lime, lemon can be used as a substitute for a different citrus twist.
