Categories     dessert

Time 6h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for the pan
1 1/4 cups almond flour
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup confectioners' erythritol sweetener, such as Swerve
Five 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 3/4 cups confectioners' erythritol sweetener, such as Swerve
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • For the crust: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Generously butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine the almond flour, pecans, sweetener and melted butter in a food processor and pulse until finely ground and combined. Turn the mixture out into the prepared springform pan and press it firmly on the bottom and about 1 1/2 inches up the sides. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then cool completely on the rack.
  • For the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
  • Combine the cream cheese, sweetener, lemon juice and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until lightened and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition.
  • Scrape the mixture into the cooled crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Bake until the edges of the cake are set but the center is still jiggly, 45 to 50 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edges of the cake to separate it from the pan, then let the cake cool for 1 hour.
  • Loosely cover the cheesecake and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours, before serving.

SUGAR FREE NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE (STEVIA)



Sugar Free New York Style Cheesecake (Stevia) image

my dad is diabetic an I've seen there inst a lot of recipes that are really "safe" for diabetics. as they shouldn't have flour or things high in carbs. Also I go the natural way with stevia or xylitol. for this I use stevioside which is stronger then regular stevia (they didn't have stevioside as an option) so if you are using regular stevia you may want increase it,,, but do it by taste. I always make two cheesecakes at a time for him so he can freeze one and he always has something on hand to eat. I'm also including two variations,,,, personally I like the key lime version better,,, but you decide.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 9 inch cheesecake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 teaspoon stevia (stevioside)
2 eggs
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 vanilla beans, scraped
8 ounces whole pecans, ground
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon flour (optional)

Steps:

  • Grind the pecans, mix with butter and flour (just helps to hold together, but you don't need it). Put into a 9 inch springform pan.
  • In a bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, stevia until fluffy (this is the point I do the tasting to see if it may need more stevia, everyone's taste is different so add a little at a time til you find what " tastes good to you. I use the stevioside which is stronger then regular stevia).
  • Beat in eggs, egg whites and cornstarch. pour mixture over crust into springform pan. bake at 300°F until firm in center (45-60 minutes) refrigerate overnight.
  • Variations: using above recipe.
  • Key Lime-.
  • Zest and juice 5 key limes ( they a smaller then regular limes) plus another 3 tbsp of lime juice, omit the vanilla beans if you like. Add at the beginning, at tasting for stevia see if you need more juice.
  • Chocolate-.
  • Use almonds instead of pecans for the crust.
  • Omit the egg whites and increase eggs to three total. Add 1/3 cup Dutch cocoa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sugar substitute: Not all sugar substitutes are created equal. Some, like erythritol, have a cooling effect, while others, like stevia, can have a bitter aftertaste. Choose a sugar substitute that you like the taste of and that doesn't have any unpleasant side effects.
  • Start with a small amount: When you're first starting out, it's best to use a small amount of sugar substitute and then gradually increase it until you reach the desired sweetness. This will help you avoid overpowering the cheesecake with sweetness.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake: Overbaking the cheesecake can cause it to become dry and crumbly. Bake the cheesecake until it is just set in the center, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Toppings can help to add sweetness, flavor, and texture to the cheesecake. Some popular toppings include fresh berries, whipped cream, and chocolate chips. You can also get creative and try other toppings, such as chopped nuts, caramel sauce, or even bacon.

Conclusion:

Sugar substitutes can be a great way to reduce the sugar content of your cheesecake without sacrificing taste. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy cheesecake that everyone will love.
